Question brownish faded head light?

Hey guys on my 92 camry the driver's side head light has turned light-brownish (I guess is the best way to describe the color) over the past few months, while my left one is nice and pretty. It is not a huge color difference but its enough to where not only I notice it but my wife asks about it too. I searched for anything relating to this on the forum search and didn't find anything so if this has been a previous question that has been answered my bad.

I have tried using Bluemagic plastic & plexigalss cleaner for the past couple of weekends and I barely noticed a difference. Has this happened to anyone else?


Cheers.

Yeah, my 2k camry has that same thing, cept it's on the passenger side. Dunno why that is, though I seem to recall some post somewhere indicating that it's sort of common and toothpaste would turn the trick. Haven't tried that one yet.

Edit: posted picture of what my car has, may be different issue with yours

toothpaste is a slight abrasive, and is sometimes used in the process to polish glass, plastic etc, so it might infact work, but yes, i imagine it would take some effort. go to the site below, it has some stuff that might work (in the middle on the right hand side). its in australia, but surely there would be something similar in the states.
