Default Yellowish oxidation appeared on headlight surface

Anyone having this issue? I mostly park in the garage. it is starting to show in the rear of the headlight near the amber reflective area. I noticed last nite when the lights were still on. This car is kind of new for this to happen. Any ideas on cleaning?

There's a sticky in the detailing forum about this. Lots of helpful information here.

I noticed that newer cars have premature "yellowing" of the head lights in places with high humidity like the south. Probably has something to do with it. Go to Houston and any car over 3 years have "yellow" headlights...
