Zaino makes a great plastic cleaner and polish. I have used it on other vehicles with "worn" or dull looking headlights. You may want to give it a try.

Get a high speed buffer, take your headlights out and buff the hell out of them, the buffer will take out all those scratches and imperfections taht have made the headlight look "foggy"

Those "nipples" are used for aligning the beampath fyi.
