Look for a user on here called JnC. He will open up the headlights, remove the amber part and smoke them out, all for a very reasonable cost. I havn't personally used him, but there are countless number of people on this site who have been super pleased with his work.

thanks for the jnc guy i will try him out asap i hate the amber on my headlights lol. also for "luvmy05tl" i was thinking about your lights, you can try claying them with "mothers" clay and then compounding and waxing, thats probably the best thing and only thing you can do. let me know if that works

If they are not pitted too deep, you may try wet sanding them. Then polish them with a good plastic polish. I did my old minivan and it came out great! Use 2000 or 1500 grit. Soak the sandpaper for about 5 mins in a bucket of water. Use a lot of water on the lens and sandpaper while sanding. Good luck.
