I’m trying to shine these up a bit. They are a bit ‘foggy’ and though I’ve tried a couple of products they’re not as bright as I want yet. Any ideas?

I have seen this done using 2000 grit wet and dry with half decent results, but for a quick fix I use G2 rubbing compound, not as brutal as wet n dry but you might have to do it again after a couple of years.

It's always best (though not necessarily the cheapest) to start with the least aggressive method and work your way up.
I went with a T-Cut headlight restoration kit, which did the job well. The compound is thicker and more abrasive than normal T-Cut, more like a paste, which helps to reduce mess, and it included a sealant too, which should help prevent future hazing from UV damage... at least in theory!

When you have got rid of the oxidation seal with clear lacquer suitable for outdoor use.

Be careful with clear coat because when it starts to chip it will make things worse.
