were they coated in clear bra type of vinyl ?, they look like they have stress cracking that sometimes happens with vinyl on light fixtures.

I did not modify my car's lights in anyway. I have had my S2000 since last summer and this just gradually started to appear. I have a car show Sunday and wanted to know if there's anything I can do before then.

Nope, you're out of luck. The lenses need to be replaced. You can wait for some lenses to pop up for sale, but it rarely does. Your best bet is buy a cheap set of aftermarket s2000 headlights and swap over the lenses if you're okay with that. It'll still run you $250-300. Or you can sell the lights and just get new ones for about $800-900. If you do end up getting a new pair and want to sell them, let me know. I could use them for parts.

The former sounds like my best bet. I would just need to bake both oems and aftermarket headlights and swap the lenses and seal them, right? Do you happen to know a pair of aftermarkets where the lenses would definitely fit?
@IrishCarBomb, I am going to try to sand them anyway but I was hoping you could tell me from experience if they are past the point of no return.

Those are stress/heat cracks and they are within the lenses. I deal with Acura and Lexus headlights all the time and no you can not fix them as they are WITHIN the lenses rather than on the surface. I can pretty much fix any sort of surface damage such as heat, wear, rock chips, oxidation etc etc re-clear with UV clear and UV bake to make the lights look brand new but stress cracks can not be fixed
