3M makes a headlight polishing compound you can buy to polish the plastic. you can do this and if you're good with painting shoot a clear coat over the headlights and you're good to go. otherwise the headlights will eventually go back to the way they were. this is what we do at my dealership. if they're too bad you'll just have to replace them but i'd try this method first.

When your headlights are foggy, cloudy or yellowed means that Oxidation is building up in your plastic lens. All plastic headlights become cloudy, foggy or yellowed over time. Headlights treated with this Headlight Cleaner will maintain clear for 8-12 months or more, it varies where your car is parked; garaged, streets, *remember that sun is one of the biggest factors why your headlights get oxidized. Using toothpaste will leave your headlights unprotected from getting that Oxidation back again. Adding a UV Sealer will leave your headlights protected for years. This Headlight Kit also Works with Tail Lights.

I heard tooth paste to polish the lenses. Just like waxing the car but in 2" circles all over the lens or orbital polisher. I haven't tried it.

I used to use fine jeweler's rouge and a soft cotton buffing wheel. Toothpaste is easier but I don't know how well it will work.
