Not saying you do, but I know most people neglect their headlights. They should get waxed and buffed just like our paint should.

Mostly from UV damage from direct sunlight and/or oxidation to the plastic which causes them to yellow. I try to hold off as long as possible from doing any wet sanding since manufacturers usually apply some sort of UV coating.
