If that's correct, he needs to take his headlights apart. Here's the instructions for that:

You've gotta take the headlight out and put it under your pillow

No. We didn't/don't.

At first I actually thought he was talking about the filmy haze that builds up and wanted to know how to refurbish his headlights.

The only thing orange in the headlight is the diffuser, isn't it?
