Just WD40? I've heard that toothpaste is actually pretty good on them as well.

Cos that's something I've got to do on mine!

Don't sand them...bug spray...get the real strong stuff ..the D3 ...just spray and wipe it off...don't let sit...wipe immediately...don't know what's in there but it burns that yellow glaze right off....check it on youtube. 

I can get the yellow off no problem but my headlights have deeper crazing from 20 years of use so I am sanding them, done it before, I start with 800, then 1500 then 3000 then an abrasive polish and finally a clear polish and lacquer to protect them.

They were unsurprisingly identical but just for you here's a pic of the untreated one after treatment, what on Earth do you think that I did ?

I imagine that you have a can of WD, a cloth and about 20 seconds of free time so just do it, it works.

When you say that you've done it before was it on the same headlights ?

No, on another car, I tend to run older cars.

That's what I did on my old jag x-type, it didn't last too long though
