Try to buff them out with one of the lens clearing kits from Turtle Wax.

You should find several good solutions in the Detailing section. Good news is they are all cheap and provide great results.

If you have the stock hid lights then polish them. If you have the non hid lights you can polish them or replace them. The aftermarket ones go for around 200 on eBay new.

if you have moisture in them, take them apart and clean them. if not i recommend using plasti x polish made for headlights works wonders. And yes some wet sanding will be needed.

anywho... rubbing compound and 2 coats of wax worked wonders on mine. I rubbed them out and not too long later, mine were looking slightly crappy, so I just waxed the suckers with some mother's and badda boom, they have looked good since last summer.
