I think it is a UAV coating. Wet sand it off. 1200, 1500, 2000 grit.

its a film to help prevent UV damage. they all start to peel off eventually. polishing the lens and putting on some kind of sealant might make it less noticeable but i'm not sure. it'll at least provide some protection.

^Yeah
You cant just wet sand the clear off and not replace it. Why not just buy a replacement OEM style headlights. They are pretty cheap and look new.

sweet thanks for the input guys...i'll try the sanding and clear coating method.
So if i dont coat it with uv protection would it wear out the light bulb faster?

The lens will oxidize and turn yellow
