Plastic headlight lenses can be sanded and polished just like paint
and there are kits on the market for this.
I have sanded and polished several headlights with very good results.
TV programs like Muscle car and Chip Foos have shown tinting lenses with
clear tinted with a bit of black. I see no reason why you could not just
use just clear. The real question is how badly will stone chips dig into a
clear coat finish.

I had to polish the plastic headlights in my 190K Subaru AGAIN a few months
back. Right after that, I was futzing aroung in the garage and came across
my spray can of clearcoat. Picture the little lightbulb over my head.
I coated just a bit of the corner of one headlight lens with the clearcoat,
and now, months later, it still looks pretty good, while the rest of the
lens is headed downhill again.
Has anybody tried this full scale basis? Did it work?
Stu
