Maguire's makes a decent polish called plastiX that works pretty decent, but once they've fogged or yellowed, you have to keep redoing it. I polish mine whenever I was the car - takes about 15 minutes.

plastic X is really good. I use it on my headlights and my rear window. If they are really bad get some 1000 grit sandpaper and wetsand them first, after that buff them with plasticX and they will look like new.

Definately meguires plastX. I used it on my old integra and they looked like new. Come to think of it ive never seen any S2000's with foggy/yellowish headlights. Is it something in the headlight or something that happens with age?

you want to use 2000 grit sand paper (do not use anything less than 1500 grit .. otherwise you will do more damage than good).. wetsand then polish and buff.. it is real easy to do...

Question... is the fog on the inside or outside. When I first read the thread, I was thinking you were getting moisture inside the lens. Maybe something isn't sealed correctly?

I have seen some with the outside fogged. The best thing to do is buy new lenses, bake the old ones off and change out the diffuser at the same time.

Plexus is good for this too. Most motorcycle shops have this type of polish in stock for the windscreens they use
