Default Cleaning up the rear brake lights?

My brake lights are hazed over and are starting to look old. Is there anything I can do to clean these up and make them look newer?

#2 will do all you need but you could use the polish afterwards. I use this stuff on motorcycle windshields. Works wonders....

Seriously? I just happened to buy a tube at the market for a buck. I'll put some on there if it works. Do I let it haze over like wax or just put it on and then take it off?

I've used Novus products for years (only the red and blue labels)...absolutly easy to use. A minute or 2 with the red polish to get the hazing look out and then the blue polish to make plastic shine is all it takes.
I and many friends also use it on the plastic coverings of headlights that many cars now have. It's especially valuable solution for cars in the sunshine states.
