You need to sand them with three or so different grit papers and water. Use the most course one until all the blemishes are removed, sand with others ending with the finest grit, like 1500 or so. Then get one of those polishing wheels and compound they sell for lights.

Best method, but requires patience.

This is the only method that will actually have any lasting result. Keep in mind that you're polishing off all the UV coating (which is what keeps them turning yellow), so you will need to periodically coat the lights to keep them from turning yellow again.

This is your answer. After you finish sanding make sure you put some sort of sealer on the headlights because you have now removed the factory UV coating. Dot use fricking toothpaste!

Just make sure its wet sanded, don't wanna run sandpaper on it while dry.
