Default Bugeye Headlight - Weather affected?

Hey fellas,

the Headlights on my car are beginning to get a weathered look to them, weather its from sun or water or a combination,
regardless -

im having issues getting a white dirty look off of the surface of the headlights,

ive tried plexus on the headlights and sum good elbow grease to no avail,

any recommendations on products and bug off
or people that can clean these to original near new state,
remembering that i dont believe it is glass rather a hard plastic
also what can get slight scratches out ?

- i remember seeing somewhere the supra's normally get polished back.

Mine is really bad too, you can see how bad it is as my right headlight has been replaced. THe left one is all shitty and frosty looking. I have tried that Meguairs Plastic Polish but it does not work too well.

Yeah ok, I might give him a whirl. If not I might buy some of those Lights off of Ebay and colour code them
