I just completed this on my 2000 SE, Unfortunately
I didn't get any pics because I was focused on what I was
doing, But the results are Amazing.

Just a warning to those who try this, I can't guarantee this will
work, It did for me but don't lose it if it doesn't work out for you.
I was fully prepared just to get new fogs if this was a Flop.

So, I started by completely removing both housings from the
bumper, and setting them up carefully in a clamp so the lense
was upright and in a fixed position I could work with.
Starting with 220 Grit aluminum Oxide Sandpaper I sanded
each lense with each Grit for about 10 Mins, making sure to cover
then entire area evenly. I would pour water over the lense each time
there was a significant buildup of debris.
So, Starting at 220, I went : 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200.

At this point in the process the lenses should have a haze to them,
but you should be able to feel how smooth they have become.

The Next Step was using Blue Magic Metal Polish. I coated
the entire lense and then using a 5" polishing pad started buffing.
Almost immediately they came right up, but keep on it for a few
minutes and It will look even better. You may have to stop to
remove excess polish at times.

Once you've given them a good buff, take a dry clean cloth
and take the excess polish off, then go again with the buffer
making sure to hit all areas evenly.

Lastly I gave them 2 Coats of Wax. They look brand new and
Killer, When I get some more time I plan to do this to my Headlights.

Sorry there are No Pics ! But for me it worked amazing.
A word of advice though, just take your time because its worth
the extra time sanding with each grit, the better you do with
each Grit, the better the end result.

Good Luck !

wow, that seems like alot of work, I guess I went the ez way and just used rubbing compound on my headlights, made them look great without all that work. to each his own I guess

 

The rubbing compound may work for lightly hazed lights, but
mine were heavily Pitted and needed the full treatment.
I suppose you could get away with it, but doing it this way brings
them back to a completely smooth factory like finish.
