Default jdm headlights peeling

i got my jdm headlights today and one of them is peeling a little i was wondering if anyone knows how i could get rid of this. Could i wet sand and then clear coat them or something... there has to be a way to repair it to look at least a little better.

1500-2000 grit wetsand then spray clear over it. itll look just like brand new. also while you are at that, wetsand and clear your taillights too.
