I used a lens cleaning kit to clean the fogged plastic headlights on my brother's '96 Dodge Dakota. The kit included two grits of abrasive, and a drill mounted buffing wheel. The results were very good, it was a little messy buffing with a 3000 rpm variable speed drill, but the high speed drill made buffing go much faster. I added blue painters tape to mask the paint. It took about an hour to do both headlights. The center of the lenses looked like new, there was some yellow film was left around the lugs sticking out of the lens where it was difficult to sand and buff.
Light from the lenses is white again and much brighter than before cleaning. I was impressed with the result and my brother was happy. I think the result was worth the hour of work, there is enough abrasive left to do another pair of lenses. I could not have replaced the lenses and realigned the beams in that same amount of time.
The kit was a name brand from Walmart for about $25, either: Mothers, McGuirer's, or 3M I forget which brand. The kit recommended applying car wax over the cleaned up lens about every 6 months to slow down future fogging from UV sunlight.
