There are several posts on this subject.

have a search on here, some good how to's. basically it is sand them with a roughish sandpaper, sand them with finer paper then sand a bit more with even finer paper and finally polish them with a polishing paste, they come up like near new. Best rule is to work in short bursts, do not sand or polish for too long as the lens will heat up and eventually "burn".

Here's one members how to polish headlights experience

it is very time consuming and labour intensive :)

If they are not too bad,try WD40 as a first resort.Soft rags and elbow grease!;)

bang and the dirt is gone
 

cillit bang green pan scrubber 90 mins no skin left on fingers but a lot better than they were. still not like new will sand when i get more time.

A few options here...

Brilliant thread guys - I noticed that the offside front light on ours is going cloudy! Will attempt to polish and see how it goes - thanks! :D

I used some of this
PLASTIC POLISH PERSPEX AIRCRAFT VISOR WINDSCREEN WINDOW

Available from eBay or other suppliers... Worked reasonably and not too hard using a cloth and a little rubbing.

That's handy - I have some of this stuff in the garage for the MGF!

Mk1 headlamps - glass or plastic? Apologies for numpty question - but I guess plastic, but they felt like glass when I applied the beam deflectors to go away on holiday recently...

My original MK1 headlamps were glass, I have now changed them to xenons which have plastic
