Headlight Lens Help!!

I bought this c6 corvette about a month ago as you can see I like to keep it really clean and made sure to buy one that was in great shape… Unfortunately she has a black eye I didnt really notice at first because it disappears in some lighting. Ive tried to buff it out using a headlight restoring kit and instead of just hazed it now looks like tiny little hairline cracks so im assuming internal/ water damage… I’ve been trying to research it and I’m unsure how to go about it. I’m not sure if I’m equipped to do it because the sealing part for the new lens and the whole heat gun or oven to release seems like a lot. I’m fairly mechanically capable but I want to make sure it’s done right and looks as clean as possible. Anybody got any advice think I should attempt it? The lens replacement involves pulling the front bumper, full headlight unit and baking to release the seal.

Need help with a headlight lens

Just bought my first corvette a few weeks ago. She has a black eye I didnt really notice at first because it disappears in some lighting. Ive tried to buff it out but it looks like tiny little hairline cracks so im assuming internal/ water damage… I’ve looked into it a lot and I can’t figure out what to do about it. I’m not sure if I’m equipped to do it because the sealing part for the new lens and the whole heat gun or oven to release seems like a lot. I’m fairly mechanically capable but I want it done right not a hack job. Anybody got any advice or thoughts or know a shop in the south central Pennsylvania area?
