Hi
My headlight glass on the LHS has yellowed. I have headlight cleaner/sealant but I'm not sure if I have to remove the whole headlight to get to the inside glass. Also if I do have to remove the light does that involve removing the bumper to get the light out?

You shouldn't need to remove anything. The yellow oxidation should be on the outside of the headlight. All you really need to clean them is cut n polish (even toothpaste will do) and maybe a little brake cleaner for the really hard stuff.

Our Calais lights were that yellow you couldn't see the chrome ring around the projector. Used some claybar and that brought it up about 50% then used some Purple Metal polish and they've come up like brand new. Took about 30min if that.
