i was just about to post this question as well, anybody done it before?

Are you refering to the covers or the lights themselves?

If it's the covers and they're plastic, sounds like they're oxidized and you'll probably have to replace them because plastic can't be rubbed out.

If it's the glass headlights, you can try cleaning them with a light duty scratch remover.

A trip to autozone may be in order. Maybe there's something new on the market.

sounds about right to me

you can polish the plastic. Use a buffer and some plastic polish. Basically youre taking off the surface layer of oxidation.

I had a problem with this on mine with yellowing, marks, and fogging. Somehow it fixed the fogging on the top too! I was very pleased. I used Turtle Wax Polishing Compound and just rubbed it in for a while then I switched Kit Scratch Remover and that seemed to shine it up more. I also lightly used Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound but that can scratch so I don't recommend it unless absolutely necessary. Try the polishing compound and you should be pleased with it.

The plastic covers don't come off you have to replace the whole assembly to get get new plastic ones.
