How did you overheat the lense to begin with?

I don't think there is much you can do with that type of plastic but to replace it. Even if you wet sand it, I believe the imperfection will still be there. If you do this too much it might eventually go to far and overtime eventually start to leak on you. I say just replace it. Sorry I couldn't be much more help. Any else have any ideas?

I'm sorry to say this but the lense will have to be replaced. I have experienced this problem once when I was young. I was blackhousing my headlights and I melted the lense. I tried to wetsand it but to no avail.

There's nothing you can do except replace the lense.
