Assuming you have polished headlights before (I'm thinking you have) just toss them.

If not then here it goes
1) sand with 1000 grit until everything looks the same
2) sand with 2000 grit until everything looks the same
3) Medium rubbing compound until everything looks the same
4) Fine rubbing compound untill everything looks the same
5) Plastic polish to a high gloss

It is actually a good bit of work; on a bad headlight it might take an hour each.
