I have heard of a lot of people using Plastx with good results but the fogging will come back. The best way is supposed to be sanding them but it takes a while because you have to work your way up with different sand paper grits. You can take a look at something like this but you can probably buff them by hand after you sand them:

I used to detail cars.....

I cant remember the name of the shit we used but whatever the case, if you use it and it works(which it should) I would advise that you re-apply it every so often to keep the clearness.

From what I was told, the actual cover over the light has some type of oil in it and it dries out over time which is why it turns yellow.......

So sand it real good and you should have some great results once you start juicin it back up.

I think people should do that at least like once a month to keep it lookin new....versus buyin new head lights...and we all know that shit aint cheap!
