Default how to clean headlight lenses

I have a 96dx sedan,and my lenses are foggy looking and dull. When wet they look clearer, but still dingy. Is threre a way to clean them. the lights have been taken apart for clear corner lens conversion, so it may internal as well. Not moisure foggy, but hazy looking and slighly yellowish.

drill a small hole into the back of the casing of the light, that way it will eliminate condesation.

any abrasive would work, scratch-x is good toothpaste works too. mothers will work, but only use a little bit, it's tougher stuff then the other two
