Did you replace the head light plastic or just clean them? I want my head lights to look like this again.

I've futzed around with polishing kits before, but nothing beats the clarity of brand new plastic. I replaced the whole headlamp assembly on both sides. They were very reasonably priced, and included bulbs: https://www.carparts.com/details/toyota/highlander/replacement/headlight/2003/set-t100111.html

Typically, the newer the car, the more expensive the headlights will be. If her car was 10 years newer, I'd have paid $250 for a pair of headlights.

It's relatively cheap to buy new headlights on Amazon for pretty much any car. The OEM headlights will cost an arm and a leg but the Amazon ones work just fine. We installed several sets at my old shop. Way easier than trying to clean them if they look like the ones in OPs pictures.
