You replace them, bulbs get dimmer as they age.

unfortunately, there is not an efficient way to clean them. I guess you have to go to Ebay to get a new pair.

My headlights plastics lens covers on my '92 325i were beginning to look
plain ugly. I tried using Mequires plastic lens cleaner and polish which
did improve the appearance quite a bit. However, the lens cover were so
badly pitted and beaten that 3 days later they looked just as bad as
before. I had begun to look at replacing the lens, with either the new
european ellipsoid headlamps at 450.00 or new replacement for 200.00.
Well I decided to try and clean them one last time before buying new.
Based on info from the digest archives, i went to the local Pepboys and
bought some 3M 1000 grit Auto-Pak Wetordry Finishing Paper and BlueMagic
Liquid Metal Polish ( in lieu of Mequires).
I first sanded the lens well on the car, about 20 minutes each. Wipe
with a clean cloth. Applied BlueMagic metal polish ( don't inhale this
stuff, its stronger than Mequires!). Follow bottle direction and presto!
Lens look almost like new. Real happy with results and savings on new
headlights. Total cost for sandpaper and metal polish 8.00

They're not dull or faded, the plastic has reacted to the sun. This happens with certain types of cars and sometimes the same things happen to the plastic windows for fabric topped cars. Unfortunately there is no way to clean this look, the only thing you can do is replace them with a better plastic so it doesn't happen again, or if you are just now beginning to notice it occurring then keep the car out of the sun whenever possible.
