you could try Eagle one "Never dull" and see if that works.

Get some 1500 grit and 2000 grit wet sandpaper, some 3m rubbing compound and some plastix (by meguiars) and clean those headlights up.

Start with the 1500 and use plenty of water and rinse the sandpaper alot. Then when you feel the 1500 is good and done move on to the 2000 and repeat the process. After you get done rinse everything off very well and allow it to dry completely. After the headlights have dried apply some rubbing compound like you do wax and let it haze up then buff it out. Then apply the plastix the way you did the rubbing compound and whiola...new looking headlights.


Doing this will also reduce the pits in the headlights and take out any yellowish or cloudiness in the headlight.
