    Ive tried a few specific products for cleaning the plastic headlight
    lenses, but nothing did a good job. I even tried a $30 product I
    watched on YouTube , to no avail. Upon experimenting , I found a
    simply low cost way that brought my fogged up/oxidized lenses back to
    almost new condition again : In the shade with the lenses cool , I
    first rubbed down the entire lense with 2000 grit sandpaper in a back
    and forth motion keeping the lense thoroughly wet with water and
    without apply too much pressure , then thoroughly washed off the
    residue with detergent and water., dried with a cloth , then applied
    WD40 aerosol spray and let it sit for about a minute before wiping
    twice with a clean dry cloth. While i dont have a picture to post,
    the result simply surprised me .

    Just wanted to post this in case you need to do yours so you can see
    better at night. I did it on my 2002 Hyundai SantaFe.

    Regards.

    I,ve succesfully used a car polish of the "cut and polish" ilk. 3-4 polishes
    and they came up almost newish. Suppose the method is not too different to
    your method.
