I had someone buff the headlights for me, turned out much better, but I want to do it myself and do it right. but it's a lot of stages from 600 grit wet sand to 1200 or higher and then polish with plastic polish. And you should seal it with a UV clear coat too...

As for the lamps if they're dead, I think they're dead. Unless it's just the bulb. Someone on rennlist has been making some pretty cool HID conversion lights that can be installed into the old lights...
