It's pretty embarrassing every time I looked at it and considered replacing the lens with OEM ones. I found a couple of threads saying to use the "Headlight restorer kit" and I finally had some time off this week to do it. It pretty much involves sanding, polishing, and last is to apply a new UV clear coat.

Can see the results below and I'm happy about it.
I will most definitely be doing this in the spring. What kit did yoy buy?? My headlights are peeling too haha. Thanks for sharing
