I’ve had success with clear coat on headlights that had ‘yellowed’.

After you have done it I would protect the lenses with some polish or wax that has UV protection. |

Yes, the lacquer is a UV protective coating, which prevents the polycarbonate headlamp glass from fogging. Mine also has a patch of peeled lacquer, and the polycarbonate is visibly fogged in the affected area. Luckily for me, it's not an illuminated area.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |
