Wow thanks a bunch for all the feedback, guys! Johnny59 e-mailed me some photos of his that he restored. He used the method I've seen other people talk about on here using multiple stages of sand paper and then the polish - and they look nearly brand new. I have previous experience with wet sanding and buffing, so I think I'm going to give that a shot first. Money is tight right now (I just bought an MGW shifter, TWM **** and redline boot for this car a couple weeks ago LOL) so if that will work, I would much rather save $200-$250. If I could find a set for $50-$100, that may be a different story - but $200+ for ones that may or may not fit properly depending on who you ask is just a bit more than I can stomach. I hate to see the inconsistency with Depo and these other brands - very disappointing. I'll post before/after pics when I complete the sand/polish.
Thanks again guys - really appreciate the help.

for a cheaper solution than getting the ~$250 pair, you can get a new set of halo's for usually as low as around $100-115 shipped on ebay. And then you pull them apart (as if doing the whistler mod) and pull out the black plastic that gives them their look. Once that's out, put the lights back together and you've got the exact same lights as stock, for less than half the price of buying the stock replacements. That's what i did for nice, new lights, at the cheapest possible price
oh, and if you're current headlights fit the way you like, you can simply swap the new lights to your old brackets

Hey guys, just a follow up. A good friend of mine who paints cars used his DA with the different sand paper grades and then polished them with plastic polish - they don't look BRAND new, but they look about 80% better and I can definitely live with the $200-$500 I saved.
