reseal them... then get a headlight refinishing kit (a good quality one)... 3M makes one you attach to a air tool and it buffs them out to look brand new. also once you reseal them go into your local Acura dealer and ask for headlight clamps for a TSX (it's part of a moisture bulletin on the TSX headlight) slap some extra clamps around the edges on your headlights so the seal stays extra tight.

Or you can just take your rsx to Acura and get them to replace them, if you r still under warranty.

plastix by meguiars is great polish for the outside of the headlights, just stick them in the oven on 140 for about 10 minutes and clamp them and it should seal any leaks.
