I apologize if this was asked before, any success on cleaning The headlight lens? Theres tons of products out there but I dont know which one actually works and if it latsed. I have a 2009 x5 xDrive 30i and my lens are yellowish and cloudy. If you changed The lens, what brand did you use that its well?
I used a 3M kit from O’Reilly about a year and a half ago with good results. It was in a box with 2 grits of sandpaper, a polishing disk, a cloth, and a wipe-on clear coat. The lenses were cloudy and light output sucked, but they ended up nice and clear. The car is parked outside so it has started to age a bit.
Thank you for The reply, Will try it out
Before the "Kits" came on the scene I restored a set of E53 HID headlights using 800, 1000, 2000 wet/dry paper with lots of soapy water then followed up with Clear Coat Polish. They were off the car so no masking problems etc. that would be required with this method or a kit.

I use the two-step Meguair's "Mirror Glaze" Cleaner & Polish for the clear plastic headlight covers. Works great. No sandpaper needed.
Thanks
I wetsand with 650 then 1500 then 3000. I finish with McGuiers (spelling*♂️) PlasticX polish. Turns out great.
Thanks guys, I did all The sanding but I think whats important is The clear coat after.
