If it just inside u can get some glass polish to clean it
but you need to open up the your front light. There are some procedures online somewhere.

If it's the outside of the lens, you will have to get some wet and dry rubbing down paper from a panel shop or paint supplies place, you will need some P600, P1500 and P2000 wet and dry, about one sheet each costing aprox $1.50 a sheet.

Rub the light's with the P600 first as this is the coursest and will not take long to get rid of the yellow and smoth out the plastic, you wont rub through but remember to watch your paint and chrome ect as you will scratch them easily.

When you think that you have rubbed the yellow off enough rub with the P1500 wet and dry and then the P2000 untill most of the deep scratch marks disapear and you will have to polish with a fine abrasive compound by hand or buff machine.

By this time they should look like new again.

If you don't want to go to all that trouble, seek a panel shop that will do it for you.

Best of luck.
