Smile Headlight Haze?

Lately, my headlights have became a bit hazy around some of the edges. not bad at all, but its already starting so i figure it'll only get alot worse in the future. so does anyone else see this on their headlights? or does anyway know how to fix it, or a good cleaner?

Yea, I had that problem during last month. I sanded them and now they're clear as can be!

There are threads on this, but the most of them suggest Maguiar's clear plastic polish. I picked some up at the local Wal Mart for about $4. It works great for the haze if it's on the outside. However, I discovered much of my haze was on the inside. Nonetheless it did definitely improve clarity and take a lot of the yellowness out.
