buff the crap out of it with some polishing compound, or aluminum polish. if you wanna take it off you can wet sand it with 2000 grit or better and then polish it.

The metal polish helped a lot, but it was only about 60 percent of what I feel could be done. I'm about to try some instructions I found on tooners, using brake fluid and a scotch pad, then rinse, then windex, the polish with the alm polish, then I'm going to put wax on them for good measure. I'm hoping that shoudl improve them, because plain old polish just didn't cut it.

If you're gonna use an orbital buffer, be careful. Those headlights will burn REALLY easily (Don't ask me how I know this 
). The Meguiar's clear plastic cleaner works well. I also heard Nail Polish remover works, but I tried it and it still looks the same. Just gotta get off your ass and do the work and not concoct some kinda witches' brew to clean them.

I used the instructions in this thread. They came out CLEAR. They're not perfect, I think the inside of the right light is a little messed, but they're 100x better than they were when I bought the car. I'll see if I can get an after pic, I should have a before pic that gives you some idea of what shape they were in. And those instructions were easy to follow, it took 5 minutes per light and very little elbow grease and I was done.
