Bumper/Headlight Damage...Please Help

Hit and run...
Just when everything was done
Does anyone know what I can do to fix the cosmetic damage? What do I use to sand/buff out the lights and bumper (if it is even possible)?
Thanks

You can probably sand the headlight and get it looking clear again, but those aftermarket headlights are cheap enough to replace instead. I can't tell from the pic, but it looks like some of the paint was scraped off. No amount of wet sanding or buffing will repair that.

You may be able to pop the bumper back in and re-align everything. If not, I just ordered a plastic welding kit to repair my bumper. I could let you know the results when I'm finish with it.
I hope one these videos may be able to help you out man. I have yet to try any of their products to see how well their colors match.

UPDATE: Used the plastic welding kit today to repair the holes and slots on the upper right side of the bumper. Now my bumper wont pop out of the clips anymore
