How about using trim router with square bit.
You can adjust how deep U want to go and will do the job quickly

It's a good thing that this is not an issue, seeing as how there are more amber headlights on the market than people know what to do with because no one wants them except Pedro, lol!

I'd say this is done with a semi-soft sanding block (manual), starting slow with #100 up to #whatever. Gradually getting good at curving your block to meet that final organic curve is what you want. No quick way unless you are on your 1000 pcs run (manufacturer).

Put anything electric in there and you'll possibly need a new eye as much as some not-so-cheap headlights.

My 2cents
