If you do a search on "headlights" and "cleaning" you'll find lots of advice.

This post has come up a few times---T Cut i think---but you could do some searches!

Regular question on here - a search will reveal loads of info

i did a search and no joy, i did about t-cut but as they are plastic won't it scratch the lens underneath.

I tried all the remedys suggested and they looked a bit better, but the car failed MOT because they no longer gave a clear light.So I Just bought some headlights from a breaker. Sorted. Whatever you do, don't use anything that will sratch the plastic.

It's not just plastic, it's polycarbonate - you may be able to mark it with a hammer It'll withstand all the T cutting you can give it
