How to repair plastic on headlights?

[Booya]

Hi folks,

Following on from my incident. Getting my wing and front bumper repaired for £320 which is amazing! Thought I would need new parts all together.

Anyway...

The repair guy said he can't fix the scratches on my angel eyes as it can't be done. I find this hard to believe. Anyone know of any methods or companies that can do this for you? (see pic below)

Thanks in advance.

Depends how bad they are, but you can wet sand them and polish them just like you would paint

i think they are doable - get onto detailing world and ask on there. I'm sure you will get your answers there.

Yeah thanks guys.

I think my scratches might be too deep for that though.

I'll have a proper look and research this method further.

Thanks for your help.
