i've used meg's plast-x with good results.

just make sure you use a sealant afterwards or they'll cloud up again.

The Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish is great for a solid cleaning and polishing of the headlight to regain visibility. If your glass is in really bad condition try the DI Packages Headlight Restoration Advanced Kit. It gives you everything you need to fully restore them.

yo, use PlastX.

Dab some on a rag or old shirt and use some pressure with your fingers in a circular motion. Keep doing it and polish with a clean cloth. Mine were pretty damn foggy but are clear now.

No need for anything else man

just start with plastx if it's clouded.

if it's really bad and heavily scratched, use this DIY

If you use plastx, you still need to buy a sealant. The Crystal View kit includes the sealant, and is less than $20. I've used it on cars and checked the lights several years later, and they were still in great shape. It's tough to beat that kind of performance.

I did use plastx several times, and it's a good product, but it has a very low durability/duration.
