There is a really good chance that this has occured because you are using bulbs that are not 'UV-Cut'. Usually cheaper bulbs are the culprit, anything under $25 a set...

Unfortunalty some headlamp glass is more susceptable/proned to it occuring than others, and Echo & Rav are up there...

I had the same problem with my corolla before. Just use some strong car polish liquid and rub....keep rubbing for a long time ;)

+1 to that. I rubbed in some meguiars scratch x and it gradually disappeared after a few applications. I've had a read about it online and the yellowish cloud is supposedly due to oxidation...

There are headlight restorer kits available, consisting of sandpaper, polish, and a clear UV coat.

Otherwise, repaired plenty of slightly yellowed lights with cutters/ polishes
