i saw on the speed channel that you can bring your headlights back to life by putting tooth paste on a rag and scrubbing it. you just want to use a light abrasive.

It does not work that well, there are many guides on how to do it on this forum, but the easiest way is to buy new ones

I just bought this stuff ...a little skeptical, but it worked! I was at the store getting sand paper and looking for plastic polish, and they recommended this stuff. Sorry, but I dont have any before photos.

It works as long as you take your time and sand the lens well. It is basically the same thing everyone is talking about doing. It has sand paper, some kind of plastic polish, and a sealer that creates a glaze over the top.
