They have some headlight fix-it stuff at WalMart.

Have you heard if it works very well? Or have you used it yourself?

i've heard of kits for $20 or so from walmart i believe.. As far as i know they come with a couple different grits of sandpaper, and some kind of polish/protect stuff.. but, i've never seen them. I'm pretty sure you can just sand it down with some sandpaper, then sand it a couple ore times (or whatever's necessary) with a higher grit sandpaper each time. Then just buff the living hell out of it with some polish.. I'm guessing Maguires PlasticX would work? I'm not sure what would be a good grit sandpaper to start with though..

I did this with my car. I used 1000 to get the haze off, 1500, then 2000. All wet sanded. Be prepared to use a little muscle lol. Then use Meguiar's PlastX to clear them up... Then use metal polish to make em shine =D
