If that's on the outside I'd try wetsanding it with a really soft sand paper

also, if you look on autogeek they have a headlight cleaning kit, it basically buffs it down with a very mild abrasive, same as the sandpaper maybe a little less guess work

I agree, wetsanding is your only hope and it still may not work. If I knew how I would offer advice. Find a shop or someone that knows howand give it a go. It will have to be buffed afterward to see if it worked or not.

also something else that came to mind is on my old mustang (yeah I am originally a ford guy) the headlights did not drain, somehow they would let water in but no drain.. I had to take the assembly out and wash the inside of them, before putting them back I drilled a few small holes in the lower sections of the headlight unit, which fixed it pretty much. so make sure it is something on the outside, either way you will get the same yellowish tinting of the lense..

^^^ you're suggesting sanding in the wrong order. Also, calybar is unnecessary if wetsanding .... maybe after a polish, then clay and re-polish.
