I was wondering what would happen if I sanded down my old tail

Did it to my headlights. Held about for a few years but needs to be redone

Yes I have done it and it works very well, but I would suggest removing the entire tail light to avoid overspray.

Get a 3M headlight restoration kit from the auto parts store, and some UV resistant clear coat. Just follow the instructions and you will have them looking like new again.

Funny, Had this idea when I was driving home and googled hazy head lights and this picture is to the exact idea I had.

Instead of a penetrating red light seen at a greater distance, you have a non-sharp bright red glow. Before you make a change, consider what it is that you as a DRIVER want to see from other people's brake lights in the daytime or bright sun shining from the overhead rear.

You immediately notice that such lights have somewhat less eye-catching visibility changes in the bright sunlight.

automotive clear coat lasts longer. you can call around and ask how much something like that would cost, it might be worth it to you

You can buy automotive clear coat in an aerosol can, it has a button on the bottom that you press to puncure the cylinder containing the activator. It's expensive though, $25/can and has a pot life of a few hours (but you can extend it to a few days if you keep it in the fridge).
