Projector Headlights peeling?!

I have a set of the 95-01 black projector headlights and it looks like there is clear coat peeling and flaking off. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, are there any fixes to this? I thought about trying to get the rest of the clear coat off and respraying a layer or 2 of clear coat. The only problem is I can't think of anything to take the rest of the clear off. The peeling start at the top of the headlight and works its way down.
 






Mine started peeling a little too. I've never cleared headlights, but if i did, i would probably wet sand with 2000 and do a couple coats of clear.

The peeling layer on mine is really thin and doesn't bother me too much.

You might get away with wet sand and a buff with no clear.

Probably just new headlights.

The bulb heat will just melt/wear off/ dull any paint.
