The headlamps on my 02 9-5 were very yellow and faded when I got it and my neighbor (who works for one of the tire/lube chains) used a kit that involved sanding the surface and then painting it with some sort of epoxy like material. They looked good at the time, but the epoxy stuff is peeling off now and they need re-doing. I'm just going to use a polish kit that slows grinds and polishes the surface using an electric drill. I figure if the lenses are pitted and yellow then any UV protection that was on the surface has long since gone. Once they are polished I'll spray them regularly with 303 Aerospace and see if that helps keep the UV from destroying them.
