There is some sort of film on the inside, once you've messed it up there is honestly probably no way of returning it to even decent condition. One of my lenses is spidercracked in a small section, I will probably either end up getting the ebay replica's or upgrade to 06+ HID's down the road.
Good luck OP.

The thing you need to solve your problem is a real buffer or a really high speed drill and some good 3m buffing compound. Just take the lenses by some local body shops and ask them how much they will charge you to finish wets anding them and buff them out. It will most likely be cheaper than a new set of lenses and will turn out nice. Wish i was local id do it for you. Just need someone thats good at wetsanding and buffing paint. Good luck!

I just hit a deer today and it busted the tabs on my headlight. It screwed my car up pretty bad but i think i can give it to you cause im going to need a new headlight light anyway. Ill keep you updated. Theirs nothing wrong with the lens, its not cracked or anything. Its the driver side lens by the way.

Follow overZealous1 instruction. I have fixed a few headlights (not perfect but better than it current condition) that way if not ask me about outside lens. I know I have a few lying around.
