Headlights

My headlights are starting to get pretty foggy. the plastic is getting pretty dirty and no matter how well i clean it, it still doesnt look half as good as when i first got it. is there any kind of product that i can use to restore it? i know theres this way to use sandpaper and such but too much work for me. any suggestions?

There is actually some stuff on eBay that I tried on a family members car and it did a decent job. Keeping in mind the car I used this on is a 1998......and the car is hardly ever washed, cleaned and cared for like our TL.

It was a 3 step process - appling each of the cleaners and hand rubbing the light one at a time.

It wasn't expensive either - I say give it a try - the lights on an 04 can't be half as bad as the ones on the 98 I did.

I was looking at my lights and it looks like there is a little dirt on the inside. Is there an easy way to get to this? As soon as I looked at it I decided to not even try...
