I bought a replacement headlight, both corner lights, and both taillights from Am-Autoparts, an e-bay seller, for my '01 ST two years ago. Excellent fit and quality at a very good price.

Replace. The problem with polishing and sanding is that it takes off the coating that prevents or slows yellowing.

If you opt to do this, start with 1500 grit sandpaper, then 2500, then polish. Clean with alcohol and clear them with spray can clear. This will hold up for years I've done it many times. The clear will fix the foggyness from polishing and sanding more than you think.

I just used a Wipe New headlight kit on my daughter's Mazda 626. Her lenses were totally clouded over. I am shocked at how well they turned out. The key is to keep them wet will using the sanding block in the kit.
