The solution has been shown time and again. You need to re-spray the headlights with UV resistant clear lacquer just as they came out of the factory. There is no other solution which works as well as restoring them to how they were at manufacture.

It is very simple. Sand off the original lacquer down to fresh plastic. Mask off leaving only the front face of the headlight where you removed the original finish. Spray them. After spray gently sand down any lip between the new coat and the OE coat at the edge/side where it was masked, until its smooth and as its clear it will look seamless like it is brand new. Job done for another 14 years.

Any other solution is just a waste of time and effort. I wonder if I should start offering a headlight restoration service.
