it is clearcoat, wetsanding it would blend that in, but if you wanna really fix it, take it to a body shop, they will sand it all off and redo it

as for the taillights, you can try sanding but if not, a set of prelude tails is not hard to come by for cheap.....

When I had my 'teg with the jdm front-end on it, the headlights got like that. I did some research and ended up wetsanding it with some really fine sandpaper, then using a plastic cleaner/polish like mother's. After I finished, the headlights looked damn near brand new. I also recently did this on my bumper lights and taillights for my prelude (used wet 1000, then lots of polishing), it'll also take out some fine scratches in the lenses & the oxidation crap. I think g2ic.com had a writeup on it under teg tips, renewing jdm headlights (its still a how-to for a plastic lense resto).
