Does anyone know a sure way to fix the oxidation in a headlight? I believe it's on the inside I felt the outside and it didn't feel rough at all.

Might wanna check of you can take the headlight off and scrub the inside with a toothbrush and toothpaste. There are power tools you could make use of. Also might be cheaper and easier to buy the headlight replacements. EBay is cheaper than Amazon imo.

Usually even if the surface is smooth, it is on the outside. Do you have some scratch remover at your house? I use "scratch out", one of those products that's supposed to get rid of scratches in paint, put if you buff your headlights with that they'll be crystal clear. I know I made a post about it ages ago, I'll try to find it and link it in this post.

EDIT:
HERE is that post.

WD-40 is good to use, just don't get it on your paint, also toothpaste is also good. Just be sure to use it more than once.

Could just bring it to an auto body shop, it's not expensive, especially if you already pull them out. It will be done the best way.
