Acetone is a chemical which 'evaporates' water so I believe it would take the water condensation out of your headlights. I have the same problem(with my tails) and I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, probably because I don't know what the acetone will do to the glass/bulb/contacts/etc but I think it's safe.

Yes I believe it was Acetone. Acetone is a strong solvent and f rubbed carefully over the plastic lenses, it may remove some of the discoloration. Just be careful solvents melt plastics.
There are plastic cleansers/polishes that work pretty well also. Look for cleaners used on gauge faces and motorcycle shields.
