Why not just go to www.car-part.com and find some used GXP headlights.
They'd complement the car very well.

I have heard good reviews about this system but I have never tried it. Never had a need to resurface my plastic lenses.

Wet sand, use 1000 grit first and then go up to 1500........Pollish up with some rubbing compound, 10 min and your lights like 5 times better....
Start out with which ever grit is more abbrasive (I don't remember) but we do it at work and it works wonders on pitting and cloudyness.
