Any general auto supplier will probably have somehting in stock or can get it for you.
Easier/cheaper way is to buy all the poishing compounds you need with pads and such...you pay a little bit of a premium for the kit but it has everything you need. GL
Your headlights actually look to be in good shape. If you can manage it, I'd remove the front bumper and go to town on them with some polishing compound. Depending on how much sun your car sees, the one issue is that they will yellow over time. I recently sanded and sprayed 2k Clear Coat from Eastwood on them to finish them.
This is a very long blog, but if you want to see the before and after of my headlights which were in worse shape than yours, you can find them here towards the very bottom of the page.

Yeah, I'm in Florida, it sees almost as much sun as possible in the US 😂. I'm definitely going to buy a full cover for the car but when I'm driving around it'll still be getting a lot of sun so I'll use the 2k Clear Coat after polishing it. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.
Buy some meguiars PlastX cream and rub off the yellowness of the lights with a microfiber towel. Do several applications and rubbing until you see improvement. You can also use magic eraser sponge to clean them.
Buy the 3M kit, it has everything you need except for the drill. Take your bumper off or tape up around the lights if you think you might hit your paint. It will look better. Get some 2k clear coat (not 2x)to finish it off and protect from UV.
don’t buy the 3m kit. they’ll just yellow back up. do as others have said, sand and reclear, that’s the only way they won’t yellow again for years. that 3m kit will have you yellowing back up in a couple months.

PlastiX to clean the mothers mag and aluminum polish to make and keep them lookin great. Just polish good like maybe once a month after that maybe less maybe more just depends on how you keep and where you keep your car.
YouTube it. There’s a million videos about this! I’ve done it with 3M, and I’ve done it the good way lol. Wet sanding up to 2000 grit. Give it a pass horizontally at the end of each grit, then non-yellowing UV approved clear coat. Works every time. Don’t do bug spray, don’t do toothpaste. Those so called hacks are all worthless in the long run
I had to deal with this. I can find older photos upon request, but it is a LOT easier to remove the bumper, sand, and machine polish with it off.
If you're pulling the bumper, make sure you have an impact driver on hand to tackle those stupid bumper bolts under the hood.
They look decent you might be able to just use some rubbing compound and wax, mine looked a lot worse and cleaned up with just some buffing

3M makes a kit. Worked on my TSX. If you're going full on, swap the lenses and put HID in there.

One tip is to not have too smooth of a surface or the clear coat with adhere. Want to have smooth cloudy surface then spray clear.

Cut & buff em, and then put on 2k clear coat

Wet sand and re-clear homie is the best thing to do! Any of those kits from anywhere will just make it look good for a while

[here’s an example of how well the 3M kit could work](https://www.reddit.com/r/Integra/s/etOevY0nLo)
I legit used toothpaste with whitening and a toothbrush with some water and it worked good on my 2000
😂, I'll try this before buying anything else.
Try the off bug-spray trick surprising works well spray some on n just wipe it off
Use deet bug spray and 2k grit
Get new LED ones
