Cleaning Film off Headlights
My headlights are starting to get this film on them. My question is what products are there to get this film off and make them clear again? Thanks.

Considering that the headlights are plastic, you can use Meguiar's PlastX to clear the film.

no need to take the whole headlight apart. Just wipe down the outer housing of it, and it should clean the film off.

Yeah you just need to use a polish on the outside. You could use:
Plexus
Mothers Plastic Polish or any other plastic polish
Any paint polish would probably do the trick as well.
