Well it should be your last step Bub because there aren't any upgrades other then plenum spacer worth your time. Headlight refinish? Step 1.

Have you tried to fix it? The yellowing/haziness is on the outside most of the time.

Cleaning isn't going to do much good. They need a full restoration. Cleaning, sanding, polishing, etc...

If you haven't done that, you don't know for sure where the oxidation is.

Okay so I went to AutoZone and bought 400 grit sandpaper 600 grit sandpaper and 2000 grit sandpaper and I'm about to restore my headlights and see if that works and I also have clear coat to put over after I finished.
