I have a passengers side cover, but not a drivers. You are likely going to have to buy a whole headlight for the other side. Chances of someone else having a cover are extrememly slim.

Yep,

Save yourself some cash. Give it a bit of a polish with some cutting compound and then car polish and itll come up as good as new. Be prepared to spend 30 mins on it though.

I can fix it for you but you will have to get the tickets for me to get to Perth and back

just depends on how bad they are.
I would start with a 600 and work up to a 1500 and then hit it with a metal polish and a final hit with a plastice polish.
Just remember to keep the water up to it when you are sanding about every 10- 15 seconds add watter to the light and papper

do i just have to sand away the rest of the top layer to make it look new?

and do i need to apply anything to protect the layer underneath?
