Is there any way or product that will remove the yellow on a headlight lens?

Try Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish, or 3M Plastic Polish, or Mothers Plastic Polish. Just remember to use more strokes, not more pressure (keep it even and on the light pressure side). Then use Plexus to maintain it.
There are specialized kits available for machine polishing (using a drill - cord or cordless). Usually comes with a 3" backing plate and a waffle foam pad. Polishing at 900-2800 rpms is the recommended norm.
Some use toothpaste to polish the lens and remove the yellowing. Haven't tried this myself, but toothpaste is slightly or is a very fine abrasive. Apply the toothpaste on a dry cloth and polish away. Most that use this process recommend buying "Natural White Extreme" at your local Dollar store, since it is a bit more abrasive than regular toothpaste and will also remove road film.
That being said, I would stick to a name brand plastic polish...the results are well known and doesn't cost that much to buy ($5-6 on average).
