If it's not too bad, might want to use a D/A polisher with Meguiars Plast-X, I suggest trying this first.

Otherwise, wetsand the lights. Depending how bad, start with 1500 then climb up to 2500 grit sand paper. Mask the area around the headlights, use car soap as lubrication and keep the sandpaper wet. Wet the sand paper and start sanding off the haze. Finish off with a Meguiars plast-x with a polisher. Take your time and don't let the headlights get too hot.

I took about 1 hr per light.

assorted from 1000->2500 grit. I thought it was scary at first, but it's really easy and maybe relaxing at times. When the plastic becomes glass smooth, its such a great feeling.

If you have the tools use the kit or just pay someone... either way it isnt that expensive.

I tried some other products with bad results. Found a kit from Sylvania. It worked great. Way better than I thought it would.

this is the kit
