Yellowing? A lot of guys use Autosol, or other mild abrasives to remove the yellowed plastic and then polish them up afterwards.
I've had really good luck with the Novus products. It works great on the IP cluster lens. I removed mild scatches and stains with this stuff and put it back to looking like new. It really depends on the condition of the headlights and how far gone they are.

I've heard of people using toothpaste, but I haven't tried.
I used Mother's wheel polish. I spent about half an hour polishing while I watched tv and they look nearly new.
These lights are a real bitch to take out. Does anyone have any tips?

Toothpaste has a polishing compound in it, that's why it works in my opinon it is better for small glass nicks. Best bet is to wet sand as mention above and use some DA powered buffer with a ardex product to clean the plastic.
Get in touch with Jim at PPI and buy a new set of OEM's. I replaced all 6 front light assemblies last year and the car looks so much better.

When I bought the 99 Cobra, they were as bad as I have seen on any other mustang.
I wetsanded with 2000 and buffed the hell out of them with 3M polishing compound.
They don't look brand new, but they do look DAMN GOOD.
Saved me a couple hundred bucks that I could use else where..MODS!!!!!!:rockon:
