I have a couple of rear lights that look terrible. One of them is almost white, looks like it's clouded over. I guess this is caused by UV damage?

Where should I start with getting them back to clear red?
 
If they are scratched just sand and polish them, if they are bleached, you will need to spray them with translucent light paint.
 
I have some red tint spray on order, should be here any day now. Will let you know how it turns out.
 
Sand them first, 800-3000 grit wet and dry then run a polisher over them, then seal with some clear lacquer
 
Wet sand and polish with a wool pad and a good compound that has lots of play in it, like menzerna 400. I seal lights with Gtechniq Crystal Serum as it's outrageously strong and durable.
