Get a good commercial plastic polishing kit.

Ask a body shop what they use.

NAPA make a kits for this that costs about $16.00.

What about getting inside the headlight to the round lens? Each of mine has a yellow spot from the bulbs burning it. Is there a way to open them to get to that? I started to attempt to pry them open but then chickened out.

Anyone have a before and after? I'm really curious to see how well these polishing kits work.

I have use a plastic polish by hand on headlights before and it worked great. Hugh difference.

Don't forget to seal them. I paid a local guy $50 to get mine done to sell them. (I bought new ones and the old ones I sold on ebay) They get 98% perfect. The secret is to seal them, otherwise they will get bad (and worse than before) faster than you can think.
