I was going to use the sandpaper method but I tried a metal polish called Autosol first. It only took 5-10 minutes each headlight to wipe it on and wipe it off and they look as good as new.
Before
After
I'd give this Autosol stuff a go before you spend all day sanding. That said, mine weren't to bad to begin with.
