note-this is just me kinda remembering something that my uncle might have said.

I belive if you lightly and evenly sand the headlights with really small grit sand paper it can help. Like 1000 grit sandpaper.

you can wet sand them, but i only recomend that in extreme cases. there are cleaning products that you can use to re-new the headlights. i would suggest searching for them and trying at least one before sanding them.

you have to be very careful in sanding them so you dont get any flat spots or any areas worn too much. also, be careful that you use a very high grit paper so you dont take too much plastic away.

another tip that i heard somewhere about wet sanding that i have always used, add a drop of ldish soap into your water and soak your sandpaper in it before starting.

You can get new lenses on ebay. I would look for glass ones though. Hard to find but they are there. I had to do the same thing for my old jeep.

if walmart doesent have it, check an auto parts store before you start sanding. they should have something, perhaps not that brand, but tjhey should have something

High speed buffer, GOOD wax used for light cutting(Malco, Zaino), a few minutes of your time. All it takes

i've used brasso to clean my taillights before and it worked miracles. i didn't do my headlights cuz they were glass units at the time but i'm sure it would work for plastic headlight lenses as well. it's basically like sanding with fine grit sandpaper. it's available at walmart too
