The PlastX or the headlight film?
If the headlight lenses are already oxidized, then neither of these solutions would make the lenses appear clear.
The PlastX is an extremely mild polish, used only to remove minor contaminants from the plastic. You could buff the headlight lenses with PlastX until the cows came home, and all you'd end up with is some shiny, oxidized lenses.
I'm assuming that the headlight film would protect the lenses from future damage, but you'd still have oxidized headlight lenses.
You could always grind the lenses with varying grades of sandpaper, and then apply the film. But in the long run, replacement of the headlight assemblies will yield the best, most cost effective, and least painful way of restoring your headlights. At least it was for me.
Check the "For Sale" ads on this forum ( I believe someone has a pair of decent headlights listed right now, at a GREAT price too!), and also eBay and craigslist.
Just sayin'............
