What kinda car? I sand them and then clear them. Last longer

I've got a CR-V and a Tundra I'd like to do. I've tried two different diy kits, but they just don't clear them up enough.

Wipe them down firmly with some cheap baking soda toothpaste and a damp cloth, then remove with a clean cloth. Did this with our Sequoia and the difference was amazing.

I probably do about 3 or 4 sets a week. We sand them down to rid a lot of the imperfections. Then we clear them with a high grade automotive clear. Seems to be the best so far. They don't re yellow as quickly

Also, sometimes the cloudiness is inside the headlight too. Can't fix that.

We got ours done at Wolf Creek Car Wash. They come with a lifetime of cleaning. Next time they fog up, all I gotta do is take it to them and they clean me for free, again. And again. And again. And again. Forever. $50-$60 I believe. Well worth it to me

I bought Meguiars restoration kit for about $20 at Walmart. Spent about 10 minutes per headlight and they look brand new.

Rain-X has a nice kit that is often on sale at O'Reilly's and Autozone. Does not require a drill and you can get 2-3 uses out of each box. Anyone can do it.

Some vehicles don't have aftermarket headlamp replacements.

While I drive the definition of aftermarket is available for everything crown Victoria aftermarket units available for many and even oem are available from third parties for resonable cost at times. The op does not mention his vehicle so I don't know if they are for his application.
Even pos Chinese aftermarket parts are going to transmit more photons down the road than refinished oem ones so if they are resonable cost they are worth considering.
