Before I did that, I'd get some plastic polish and try polishing by hand.

If it looks like it's going to be a bit of work, try the plastic polish with a PowerBall Mini (mask with low-tack painter's tape or dress adjacent rubber trim if necessary to avoid cleanup problems).

If the headlights are yellowed or foggy you can try scrubbing them but eventually the same thing is going to happen over time because the seal around the headlights is most likely broken allowing moisture to get in.

Best bet is to get new ones since they are so cheap and readily available, they will also stay clearer for a longer period of time than your scrubbed stockers.
