It's surprising how thick the plastic is - just keep sanding.
I have since sold the first pair I did and bought a 2nd pair of amber lights to de-amber.
Things I learned from the first time around:
1. Mask off the rest of the headlight before sanding the amber section - this makes it a whole lot less work when you need to polish up the headlight at the end
2. Sand off the amber slowly allowing time to cool - I used a lot of water. If you apply too much pressure the plastic melts and liquifies. this heat can cause distortion that blemishes the entire lens right through the clear underneath.
3. make sure you use the 'sealer' in your lens restoration kit afterward. I didn't do this and lenses yellowed again very quickly
hope that helps
