Many times over this has been covered.

Search for "yellow fever".

or just try, cut and polish, polish, toothpaste, brasso or there are products available especially for this.

Here are some links that might help you.

I just did this, 1500, 2000, 3000, and then a lot of elbow grease. Problem is however, the yellowness is gone but I still have condensation inside the headlight. How to get rid of this?

If it's actually moisture, pull the bulbs and get a hairdryer in there.

If it's oxidisation on the inside of the lense, aside from going to the trouble of pulling them apart etc...

replace them or live with it.

yeah i agree im a panel beater and many people ask how they can fix it polishing it is just quick fix you will find it will come back and some times worse it comes from the protective layer on the plastic wears away and sanding it will only take more layers away and as for the water on the inside of the head light well you may have a small leak in the headlight do as notapulsar said and dry the headlight out and look and see if you can find a leak
