Walmart Headlight Restoration
#16
Alright well I picked up the Turtle Wax posted above and it was GREAT! I didn't really take before pics, but I've taken some pics from a while back (note that they got 3x worse from the before pics. There were yellow dripping stains and it looked like crap! The before pics dont do justice)

Didn't embed cause pics are large, and didn't wanna down size them so you can see the detail. The turtlewax came with this little packet that had this baby wipes type of cloth that said its purpose was to prevent future yellow/fog, but im still gonna go tomorrow and pick up a wax (Silencer_0 recommended Meguires NXT 2.0 wax) so ima get that tomorrow.
Best thing that the turtlewax was enough for 3 cars. We also did my cousins IS250 and did another car too quickly. All produced fantastic results! Feel like a little kid on Christmas

I used Turtle headlight restore kit, from Walmart $8.

Not the best pictures (taken on different days and such) but it gives you an idea. Cheaper to get a kit and do it yourself. I noticed a very big difference; they were much clearer afterwards. I was able to remove alot of the oxidation/yellowing on the surface of the lights.
Now to find a way to clear up the clearance strip..

This is the way to go if you have the tools necessary.
I'd add that your removing any remaining UV coating from the light so it helps to use a headlight sealant when you are done, like Opti-lens or Blue Magic.
Or, as another posted noted the yellowed discoloration returns shortly.
