I don't think there is to much u can do, the plastic yellows over time from the sun and I don't think it's just on the surface.

You could always try any plastic polish. It may not turn the headlight totally clear and like-new, but it will help. I've tried that on my moms van with good results. Another thing you could use is Mag Wheel Polish or Chrome polish, like Meguire's Mag & Aluminum Wheel Polish or Eagle One's Mag & Aluminum Polish.

Actually plastic polish is pretty wussy. Go for hte old no. 7 chrome polish. It'll cut through yellow headlights in no time.

Very fine wet sand followed by a buff with some sort of glazing compound. Preferably with an electric buffer cause it takes alot longer by hand.

Beat me too it. I agree with this statement. Glass lamps are much better than plastic anyway.
