Has it peeled on the inside of lens or the outside?

If it's inside then the only option you have is to split them again and repaint.

If its on the outside you can polish them with headlight restoration kits off ebay/halfords

Yes that would work and even read people using toothpaste containing bicarbonate of soda to polish headlights lol
