how to get yellow out of headlights?

I didn't notice that my headlights were a little yellow but I do now. I just had my truck get out of the body shop for collision repair and they changed the front right headlight and foglight to brand new ones. My rleft side headlights and fog is factory from 2006. I can clearly see that the old lights (fog and headlight) have a yellow tinge compared to the new lights.

Anyone have luck with those headlight restorer stuff or should I not worry about it?? I don't know if it gets yellow on the outside or inside of the headlights, if it's inside I don't see how those headlight polishes would work?

Cool I'll try that. I'm going to wait for 3-4 months though because the paint shop says 3 months for the paint to fully cure(whole front end is repainted). In case I get a drop on the paint I don't want to get it on paint that's not fully hardened yet..............
