On the outside?
Just regularly wash your car and use a glass cleaner.

If its bad, theres sanding methods.
Im sure someone has DIY thread somewhere.

I've heard sanding methods aren't that great
Apparently the headlights fog up yellow or some shit :S?

Could be wrong ^^

Lolol, buy new ones. XD
I never had this problem, just keep em clean regularly and away from direct sunlight.
