Yeah and your not making the headlight thinner and thinner. Repeat the sand and buff a few times and I'd bet the plastic would be paper thin.
I've done it several times to other faded signals on various makes and models. Just have to maintain it like your regular paint.

Wetsanding with very fine papers and then buffing with compound takes off next to nothing in thickness. A person could to it 50 times before it got anywhere near noticable.
I did Daughter's car late last year before I sold it. They looked outstanding after half an hour. A quick wax after they dried and no more worries.

3M has a little kit out there for like $15-$20 and meguiar's has one that goes for $25 (per their website). thing about the meguiar's one is that the $25 kit is basically just their $8 PlastX, a microfiber towel and a buffing pad which can attach to a drill.
i was thinking about wet sanding mine, but i like the idea that i can just use a compound and buff it out.

does kits do work to some extent because what they are doing is melting a layer off , same effect as sanding them down, but if you want to get chips out scratches you have to wet sand with atleast a 600 first....unless it wont come our good, these kits often improve them yes but they dont make them appear brand new as when you wetsand them properly,
