Anyone in the OC/LA area with experience doing the retro interested in helping me out?

I currently have a set of the green tint and chrome HID headlights. Both need work done.

Would like to get new lenses. what would be the best option.

The ONLY way it should be done is the exact same process with the sanding but then get them clear coated, cut and buffed and you'll be good to go forever.
I use toothpaste and all the yellowish or fogishness is gone. Looks really clear. That is much cheaper and works the same as those restoration kits.
