I have an 88 Vanagon with the square headlights.  My headlights had become
somewhat hazy and my solution was to remove the bulbs, take the buckets out
with the headlights still attached and clean the insides by just washing
with warm water and dish soap.  I rinsed well with distilled water.  I then
set the buckets on a warmer face down and let them dry of 8-10 hours.  To
improve air circulation, I used an old aquarium air pump to blow some air
into the headlights to dry them.

It's been a while since I did this and during the washing part I may have
inserted a soft cloth in with my 'dish water'  and swished it around to help
dislodge and dust and so forth, but I did not do an other specific
scrubbing.

After I finished and reassembled the headlights they both looked brand new
and seemed to work better as well.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
