Default headlight polishing inside too?

Can the lens be removed so the inside can be sanded and polishded? I have worked on the outside and there are small little cracks still there and I can't tell if they are the outside on inside. I thought I had them looking good and then I pull the car out in the sun and there they are.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/224386/2 that's it but a word of warning if you have an electric oven don't leave it in there for 20 min. i left mine in for about 5 min and it worked just fine 20 min it would have been a melted blob. and the cracks are more than likley on the out side cause mine were realy bad but silky smoothe on the inside. hope this helps

If they are on the outside then I am going to have to really remove some of the plastic with wet sanding again because the more I work on them the worse the cracks look. I wish the lenses only could be replaced and I would just start over.

The "cracks" are on the outside.

Is there a point to where they get so cracked that even wet sanding will not get it out?
