Clearing yellowing headlights.

I remember reading something about this a while ago, but never had to worry about it. Now my Expeditions left headlight is starting to yellow. Anyone know a good way to clean it up?

Thanks.

Meguiar's PlastX. Check your local Pep Boys... about $7 for a bottle.

Mustang guys just use metal/chrome polish. I don't believe the plastic polish is not as abrasive. I've used metal polish and it works great.

Do you apply by hand or use a machine?

Thanks.
Inside or outside?

The methods described work fine for the outside, but if the inside starts to turn, you can use something like Everclear, to clean it.

Pour some in there, swish it around and pour it out.

Don't drink it..........
