All of them yellow, easiest is to buy the polishing kit and polish them out, usually lasts quite a while.

I usually just grab the buffer and some 3M fine buffing compound, works doggone good and I don't have to buy anything else. I use a junk or about junk wool pad on my buffer. If they are exceptionally bad, I have been known to wet sand them with 1500 grit paper before buffing, but that is for ones that are almost translucent.

Mine had yellowed and were hazy - could hardly see at night with them any more. I was thinking about just buying new headlights, but I thought I would try a buffing kit first and it worked great! I used the Meguiar's kit from Autozone, but I think you could just buy the separate items more cheaply (the kit was 30 bucks). I also changed out the old switch and plug harness, used contact cleaner on the multifunction switch and bought a heavy duty headlight wiring harness with relays (so I won't have to replace a 4th melted switch!). But the short answer - just sand and buff them with the plastic polish & you'll be surprised at the improvement.

I did the sport headlight upgrade, the stock lights use 45w low beams that are terrible. Its super simple to do- took me 1 hour
