you can only get it but so nice, its a ford thing, best bet is to just bite the bullet and get a new set of 01-04 lights for the "tinted" look, 99-00 for the silver backing.

that happened to mine, so bad that it would not pass inspection next year if i didn't do something about it. there is something you can buy that cleans them off to look like brand new. i don't know what's it called, but look arround.

wet sanding and follow up with plastx is pretty good.
