so a dc2 then... i was told that the yellow is just moisture that is held inside the light and goes yucky after a while. My guess would be the take the headlight apart and clean then use a degreaser? don't hold me to that, its just what i would do. You would probably be best asking honda though

its coz of all of that tree sap on ur car and sunlight eating away at the clearcoat. Wet sand it down, rubbing compound and then polish it up. We can do it this weekend

You will need to take your headlight off the car and ripe it apart
open it up by melting the silicons apart from the main healight housing.

You then can clean the inside with plastic polish if plastic (megulars plastic polish)
or glass clearners etc if glass (your kitchen detergent does a good job too)

scratch the old silicon off and put some near silicon to stick the headlight lens back to the headlight housing.

Done

A method I have done with my car
Take the whole headlight unit off take it out and get one of those bottle bushes and dish detergents clean, mix with water and clean as much u can
set for around 5mins. Tip the water out and let it try for a few days.

Do at your risk as I have seen some people mess it up by melting there whole plastic housing.
