UPDATE!:
My headlights have been resealed and have been sent to be wet sanded down and resprayed with urethane clear coat. They should look perfect when I get them back. I can't wait!!!
I'll have more pics up soon so stay tuned....

UPDATE:
This sums up all the work done to my light. Tomorrow I put them back on. I tore them down, pulled them apart. Primed (2 coats) and painted (3 coats flat black) the inner surrounding trim piece. I didn't want to paint any of the inner pieces that reflect light and sacrifice output since these aren't true projectors. SO, then I resealed them, and had them wet sanded and sprayed (3 coats of urethane clear) by a guy that I work with that did body work for years. He has a legit paint both at his house for crying out loud. There is not ONE scratch on these badboys. No stress cracks, no yellowing. The only thing wrong with them at this point are a few imperfections in the clear coat that will be wet sanded out and polished back out to a shine. But I'm thrilled with the results as they are! I will of course throw up some installed pics as well when I get them back on the car. Let me know what you think for now...

I knew people would be like, "WTF!" because I left it in.
