Default Yellowed headlights

I just bought a 2000 ford mustang thats in perfect shape with low miles, but the headlight lenses have that nasty yellow haze on them. Anyone know of a good method to get rid of it without damaging the plastic?

do you have any pictures of the lights? you may not need a ton of wet sanding and polishing. if you're lucky you might be able to get away with a mild polish.

Buy Meguires PlasticX.

I just rubbed this on and off with a clean cloth. I honoustly couldn't believe the difference from one headlight to the other when I finished 1 of them.

And if you have a pc with speed dial on 5 and a foam cutting pad then follow up with a polishing pad also with the plastX on speed dial on 3 the outcome is fantastic!

rubbing compound works great.
