Alright so while I'm installing my Angel eyes I'm also trying to restore the faded lenses (looks like there are some minor pitting and scratching as well) I should be able to get pics later on tonight, because I am currently cameraless.

So far I've hit it with Windex and Meguier's (sp?) PLASTX. I'm thinking of applying the PLASTX to a buffer I've had lying around hoping that the machine will do a better job than I did.

In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas (I remember s/t about fine sanding? IDK can't find the thread anymore) or better yet a place whre I get new lenses w/o buyign the entire assembly, that would be great!

Please help, I want to be able to SEE the angel eyes (and everything else for that matter) when I'm done!
 
The meguiers should help alot but to a extent. If its that bad I would use some very smooth grade sand paper, wet sand it, and then use that buffer again.
 
I've used PLASTX at least 5 times, it helps alot, but I found myself doing it every couple months(until I sold the car).
 
I know it's hard to judge how bad it is w/o pics so thanks for the input boys.
I'll give the wet sanding a shot and then the PLASTX ans see where it takes me
