Unfortunately one of the drawbacks of the siR, it has plastic headlights and yellowing is a common problem. I tinted mine slightly with window tint film, worked a treat and you could hardly tell they were tinted unless you go real up close and personal.

You can buy plastic polish. A bit of that on a soft cloth clears the SiR plastic lenses nicely. Mine go green after a while - same issue

I use Mothers Plastic Polish but have seen an Amway product that works as good. The lights are polycarbonate and only take a mild cut to get them clear again

Just normal blackout (tint) spray from the local motor factors. Shines through fine during bright sunlight and at night. If you're worried you could always use an amber bulb too.
