Will laminex overlays help with my issue?
When I bought my car my head lamps were really fogged up real bad. I tried have them restored a couple of times and they never cleared up. I decided to buy some sand paper and try it myself. However, I used too much grit on one and it scratched it up real bad. They are clear now except for the deep scratches on one lens. If I wax them with some clear wax like Turtle Ice is works for a day or two and just fades back to awful scratches.
I was thinking of getting some overlays like clear, slightly tinted, or even yellow to put over the lenses to help mask the damage. I was thinking of a heavy polish and make a seal the wax in the cracks. Then put the overlays over to seal it in and make it flat again. You think that will work? I do not have any money for new head lamps right now and looking for a cheaper fix till I can afford a new set.
If not, does anyone have any better ideas?

You dont want to do this depending on what type of sealant or polish you use, you are going to get some marring after a few days, it wont look hazy, it will end up looking blurry heh. Like dannobre said, get multiple grits of wet sandpaper up to 2000+, and take your time on each headlamp. And by wetsand we mean water with a tad bit of dishsoap for lubrication, or use a detailing spray. it will be 1000x easier to remove the light assembly, but if you cannot, be sure to mask off around the headlights.
