I have not done this, as my headlights are in good condition, however i have read that some members take a fine grit wet-sandpaper to them to clear off this "haze". Try a search, or maybe you will get lucky and one of the members will post up in here

you can't, it's inside the headlight. they have to be taken off and apart to be cleaned. I know a shortcut aroud removing the bumper tho if you want.

It depends if its inside(moisture) or outside. If its on the outside you just wet sand it and buff it, makes them look brand new.

You can get everything you need from a auto parts store.

Good advice, i've used the Meguiars stuff, it comes in a little white bottle. Before hand, i wet sanded with 2000 grit, then buffed with the Meguiars. Turned out perfect. But i got tired of it, so i just got new headlights.

Mine were a bit dull, also. So, I went out and crashed my car, 18 months ago. Insurance paid for new headlights! :P
