I have successfully cleaned some plastic headlight covers using Novus plastic polish (I used #2). Typically used for plastic rear windows in convertibles. Meguairs has similar products, as I recall hearing. If it's more like sandblasted rather than some crud, the plastic polish may not work (unless you get a heavier cut, like Novus #3, which I've not tried). I turned the headlights on a friends Eclipse from yellowed and damned near opaque to crystal clear in about 5-10 minutes total for both sides.

fwiw, hth

Hola,

The plastic (or whatever they are made of) headlight covers on my M-Coupe have this horrible "cloudy" look to them. Kind of like some sort of film is on them...in certain sunlight it has a rainbow appearance to it. It appears that its on the outside, but I can't for the life of my get it off. Is this common? Is it just what happens as the material ages? Or is there some way to replace/clean the covers?

Thanks!
