Got a small headlight problem

Well i got my 96 2.5 Tl back from the body shop finally and i noticed that one head light looks much nicer then the other then i realized one was new and the other was my old one since it didnt get damaged. ive tried to clean the other one but it still looks dirty or something the new one jsut sparkels.

Any one know how to clean the headlight so it sparkles like new?

Sorry dude. You'll never get the old one to look as nice as the new one. When headlights get older the lens gets a foggy look that isnt really noticable unless compared to a new one. Plus I'm sure its a little pitted. Your best bet is to get another headlight if it bothers you that bad. You could also just wait a little and the new one might start to match the old one.
