Cleaning Inside The Headlights, Retaining Rings

Refitting my headlights, some of the glass lenses have gone cloudy on the inside, reflectors etc all in good condition. How do I clean them, look like they need a wipe over with some glass cleaner but no way to get in there?

I could do with either repainting the retaining rings or getting new ones!

Any ideas?

Use cleaning tablets for false teeth and demineralized to rinse after. I left it in there for some 2 hours a time, repeated the proces for some 4 times.

Thanks, can you tell me which brand of product you used?
I have all my own teeth so not familiar with this stuff :)

Thank you, I'' definitely give that a go

Any ideas on the rings? Now I've fitted the grill and indicator they don't look so good. Should I go new or powder coat?
