Try polishing them with toothpaste.
Proper kits are available, but just watched a Youtube video of using toothpaste - seems legit.
Will try it later and report back
Mine get a little murky from time to time. I use a little T-cut. Although my bottle of was bought about 16 years ago, it's probably been changed for the worst now.
Interesting - mine have had that as an advisory on the MOT so if this works that'll save wasting money on new ones!
Maybe, but toothpaste on a scratched DVD was a waste of time when I tried it after an Internet claim.
The 3M kits aren't dear, given that they include the polishing paste and a lacquer, along with the drill attachment and pads. £20 and an hour's time on my Mk5 Golf saved the greater time and expense of fitting new units.
Fine wet and dry, dipped in a bucket of water, then finish off with the t-cut.
YouTube it. And check out the polishing kits.
Only problem is the lights return to yellow due to the U.V. so get a kit with U.V. protection.
Ended up buying new lights for my Dad's car and it made the look like new again but more importantly you can see where you are driving.
My BMW angle eyes are fogging up and cost a 1/5 of the car's value.
T-Cut/Auotoglym or similar cutting compound, if they're really bad 1200 wet and dry and soapy water then cutting compound.
Well, I have a few deep scratches from wiping mud off on site, but just had 5 minutes with a tube of toothpaste and a cloth - truck was freshly washed, so not just dirt. Didn't really try too hard and might buy the proper stuff to get the scratches out, but can definitely see a difference...

That's a different light. 😉
Polishing them with a normal car polish does wonders, was one of the main things people mentioned when I was a detailer how much clearer the glass looked after a quick polish.
Autosol metal polish is great for this.
I think the 3M kits are excellent..
