I have cleaned my headlights several times with this method and it works pretty well! I found that the paste style toothpaste rather than the gel style worked way better. It does take A LOT of elbow grease and you need to rinse it very well. Overall, it won't make your headlights shine like new, but it will make a visible difference.

Can you use any kind of toothpaste? I am not sure if we tried this method or not. My headlights were so bad that I could not see to drive at night. We were told by an employee at the auto parts store to use mosquito insect repellent. We just sprayed it on and wiped it off and it worked great. This was after we had spent lots of money to buy a kit that was supposed to work. It didn't.
