For some reason I cant get my passenger side headlight as clear as the drivers...I went back and re-sanded with 2000 wet, and plastic-x the crap out of it with a RO buffer and it still looks kind of cloudy. Any ideas?

Cloudy from the sand paper scratches or cloudy from the oxidation? If cloudy from oxidation, you may need to re do with a coarser initial sandpaper (600 or 800). If from the scratches, not sure - maybe 2500??

headlights come with a UV coating though. when you sand it down and polish, it's now unprotected and will yellow and get nasty real quick. i dont know if clear headlight tints will block UV but it's worth looking into
