I was wondering if someone could help me out or at least point me in the right direction

The top of my head light lenes are beinging to mist up and turn to a dull yellow shade.

They are not in a bad state as yet, but I would like to try and sort it out before it gets to bad.

So any info to help me would be greatly recieved

T cut the lens works very well
If they are really bad try something slightly more abrahsive like rubbing compound, and then T cut.
Dodo Juice lime cleanser with abrahsive beads works well too, but is about £35

Yes, and some elbow grease.
Most of my Jap imports arrived with terrible hazy plastic lights, and they were all crystal clear by the time i finished.

I use this on my integra, you have to put some effort in but the lights come out really nicely.

From what i have read thou unless you sand them down with wet and dry then polish them back, most of the time the haze will come back in a few months

Turtle Wax offer a dedicated headlight restore kit that I've heard works pretty well.
