They will cut and buff up like new, I'm sure. Cloudy plastic responds surprisingly well to cutting, have a look at the results on this (plastic) number plate light holder for a 140:

If you are using a machine cutter, just be careful to avoid the plastic getting too hot and melting.
T-cut is not very strong, you'll want a more abrasive cutting compound. Maybe even 800 wet and dry paper first, then cut it. |

Those are the lights I have, my 740 has the old square section ones, I was going to upgrade, then I decided to put the car back to factory standard, so decided against the upgrade
