There are kits sold specifically for the purpose of refini****ng cloudy &
yellowed headlight plastic. Aside from mail order (including restoration
supply shops), I think I've even seen them in Wal-Mart. Check your various
local auto supply places before you hit that plastic with sanding
blocks...
('Course, if all else fails, do a good web search for replacement headlamp
units. I was able to find new ones for another vehicle for under $50
apiece.)
