Default Any suggestions to clear a cloudy headlight?

Is there a good way to get the inside of a headlight cleaned?

I would just replace it, they are really not that expensive. I have a new spare in the garage, I think it was less then $20 to my door.

I would just replace it. There are products out there to clear them up but in my opinion they would be almost impossible to use for the inside of the headlight.

If its the glass lens, pour a bit of isopropyl alcohol in it and swab it with a cloth and a stick or screwdriver to get the haze off.
