Default Headlight lens restoration

My new to me 2004 RX has had the headlight replaced on the drivers side, but the passengers looks pretty yellow compared to the newer one.

Anybody have good luck/ recommendations on a headlights lens restoration product?

I've used both mequires and mothers headlight kit with the drill ball supplied by either one, both work pretty good. Depends on how yellow and old it looks. I did my mom's 2009 Sienna and they turned out pretty good. I've seen some other kits that now actually use a very high grade sand paper, probably 2-3000 grit or even higher.

Once you restore the headlight lens, you need to coat it with a UV resistant clearcoat. Rustoleum has a pretty good one.
