Try some cutting polish and elbow grease first. If it's really bad..

You can do 1000>1500>2000 then polish as well. Wetsand until the yellow oxidized water runoff turns to a white,clean color. This means you reached clean, unoxidized plastic. Now finish off with finer sandpaper, and polish the hell out of them. Either work hard by hand or grab a buffer. It'd also be a good idea to wax/seal the headlights like you would your paint.
If all of this sounds too much, 3M makes a headlights restoration kit you can find at your local auto store.
Good luck, and if you need more help feel free to PM me

Yup really any kit these days that's packaged for headlight restoring will work. Just don't go cheap aka get the ones that require a drill to be used as a buffer.
