do you have high watt bulbs in your car? high watt means more heat, and more heat equals damaged plastic... premanently of course.

Headlights are turning yellow? Alright Asian Pride!
j/k so is it on the inside only? I assume so, but there really isn't anything you can do about that. I was going to say sanding but you tried that already. Maybe you can try soaking them in CLR overnight or even OxyClean

acetone (finger nail polish remover) worked on mine, but mine were barely a little cloudy, and it was on the outside..
