Personally, I have never progressed to wet sanding, but if the lenses are pitted, you really need to go this route.
Headlights are a bit tricky, always take it slow and you will be ok.

I always use wet and dry paper now, what works for me are some basic rules: tape off everything, creep up on the paper grades, i normally start at 2000, or 2500, it might take 60 seconds longer but its safer, keep it wet and sand until no more yellow comes off. Finish with 3000. If you do that step well yu can polish with a fine polish like Essence, S20/30 and it will look great. Its messy but quicker I find.
