use a fine grit sand paper, and wet sand the headlights. (If your headlights are starting to yellow and shit) the yellow stuff will come out in the water. Then apply 3M Rubbing compound, and it will look good as new..unless you have tiny cracks in them. You have to wax them every month so the yellowing doesnt come back.

Some one was telling me yesterday that after doing all the sanding and polishing that if you hit it with a couple coats of clearcoat after it helps fill some of the scratches on the plastic lense.

Some body shops will clear the lights for you.

I have seen clear used on them before, but I have never done it myself.
