In order for me to help, I have to see pictures of your headlights.

Autozone sells a chrome/reflective spray paint that works. I used it on my third brake light and it turned out great.

However...and this is just a suggestion...new headlights will make a world of difference. I used the three part cleaner, which made my lenses look better...but then just got new ones. Headlights are nice and bright and the car looks new.

Spend the money for new headlights and stick some silverstar bulbs in them. Go for a night drive and enjoy. Really, you won't be able to get the clarity and visual affect of new lights. I kept mine for 10 years, polishing the outsides and looking pretty good. I was so happy after putting the new ones in, Best money I ever spent on her. I splurged and bought Ford lights, but even an aftermarket will be awesome compared to old worn blemished lights.

Really, just buy some new ones, save yourself some trouble and make yourself happy
