You can save the cloudy headlight covers by using a polishing kit called Flitz. There are two parts you must purchase:
#1. A large toothpaste shaped tube of Flitz - a special polishing compound that works for other polishing jobs.
#2. A serrated fabric polishing bonnet that fits a 3/8 electric or battery powered drill motor.
When you're done polishing it'll take weeks to wipe the smile off your face. You'll be so proud of a job well done.
Good luck! -- Actually I said it incorrectly Have fun showing off your great workmanship!!!!

Sanding and polishing eventually will scratch and reduce thickness of your plastic headlights. Why pay for something you can do at home for less. Like everything else, there are good and bad 1 step headlight cleaner products and this is considered the Best Headlight Cleaner. You're 6 steps away to remove Headlight Oxidation from your headlights with LTC. 1. Wipe off dust from headlight 2. Shake bottle for up to 30 seconds first time, consecutive applications up to 10 seconds. 3. Apply 1/20 oz in a cotton cloth rag. 4. Start rubbing cloth rag with some pressure, chose your desire rubbing pattern and don’t stop rubbing until you see the difference and you’re satisfied with the results. 5. With a clean cotton cloth rag start wiping off until is dry to the touch. 6. Clean edges around headlight removing excess fluid in non plastic surfaces.

I watched a guy do it with toothpaste a couple of months ago on "2 guys garage" on the Speed Channel. Also, polishing compound should work. Both ways will cost you less than $5.

I bought some stuff at Autozone that will restore the plastic headlamp lenses. I've also heard toothpaste can be used, but I don't know what kind. It's just a mild abrasive.

They can be polished nicely by using a high speed polisher and rubbing compound.But,I saw a kit for reconditioning those lenses at Autozone .It was a little pricey at $19.95 but it might work out for you.
