I had great results using 3M's polishing kit...about $30 at your local parts store. All you need is an electric drill. This was on wife's horse hauler Ram 2500. You'll get a better job if you can pull the headlight assemblies...if you can't do that, double or triple masking tape over painted areas close to the headlights works well.

I have a 2008 also with yellowing headlights. I used the 3M kit with good success, however it returned in 6 months and appears even deeper then before. I would assume there was a factory UV filter on outer layer that wore down the first time, but the first 3M treatment likely removed quite a bit of material and final exposed layer looked great and smooth, but was much more susceptible to UV damage.
At this point, I feel the plastic is too thin. I also may point out there are sealers that claim to slow down this issue, but haven't tried any.

How about trying this process. Only cost like under something like $8. The supplies are way more than needed to do both headlights. If you buy the Rust-Oleum American Accents Ultra Cover 2X Gloss Clear Spray Paint and Primer 12 oz at Walmart it is only $3.86 versus Amazon at $22 for the same thing. The sand papers are relatively inexpensive.
