Let them dry and using some plastic polish (I bought Meguires PLASTIX) and hand buffed the daylights out of them and they look like new. A lot less expensive than new headlights.

I saw the headlight lens cleanup sold at the autoparts stores but I wasn't sure if it would be worth the trouble and didn't know how to go about using it; I thought you had to use it from the inside of the headlight, seemed impossible to do, so I never bought any of it.
Your idea seems to be a good one and not as expensive as the headlight cleanup kit. How long does the headlight keep clear using your method? I was thinking maybe the new headlight will have a different material on the lens part that wouldn't get cloudy but maybe they will get cloudy also.
