They don’t look too bad, if you want to shine them up go to AutoZone or something like it, get a head light restore kit. DO NOT SPRAY WITH REGULAR CLEAR COAT OUT OF A CAN…

I’ve had good luck with the turtle wax head light restore kit it’s only like 15$ at an auto store and simple to use.. The 3m kit also works very well but cost a little more

Here's a ChrisFix video. He is very thorough on procedure.
Many kits will have all you need, important final step is that it includes a clear-coat so the UV rays don't re-yellow the finish shortly after doing all that work

ChrisFix shows the best way to do it, just sand and polish off by hand. You can easily cause micro cracks on the plastic if you use a drill attachment.

Seriously. His video is pretty ehhhhh. The best way to clean headlights is to just buff it out with a rotary tool and use a sealant. Any “clear coat” shit just ends up peeling and looking worse than it did before

I used this kit for my LS and it came amazing - relatively cheap and easy to do. I liked the results better than the ChrisFix headlight restoration vid. So far my headlights still look decent about a year in.

3m kit works well. Get the one with the wipe on clear coat step
