I'm not OP, but I've had great success using the Meguiars kit on 3 different cars. Been using the Headlight Protectant about once a month, and they are staying clear. Someone below mentioned clear coating them after restoring, which is probably a better long-term solution.
FYI, instead of paying 100s for new lights, you can spend 15-20 bucks and buy sanding kits for your lights to make them more clear. You tape around your lights with painters tape and you put the special buffers onto a drill and after about an hour you got clear lights. There are multiple kinds you can get, but here's one off of Amazon.com.
Prolly some sort of light abrasive like toothpaste or that car stuff by Meguiar's made to for restoring plastic car light covers.
Well...
"Fixable" and "easy" do not go hand in hand here.
My Thorens cover is better than it was, but still not great: I used a Maguiar's headlight polishing kit on it.
Did wonders! Did NOT remove deep scratches, and the only way to do that is with sandpaper. I basically got bored and didn't go back.
Meanwhile a friend who had a JVC table like my QL-A2 asked me to polish his cover. Damned if the thing didn't look brand spanking new...almost. The inside corners are a screaming bitch to get to, and the polish etches the plastic when you leave it on too long. I went through a whole freaking box of Q-Tips and got it to a pretty good sheen, but DAMN that sucked.
Anyway: fixable, YES. Easy: not really yes.
EDIT: You might ask far, far smarter people than me about this procedure. I intend to get my Thorens cover cleaned up when I quit being so lazy about it. I need advice: there may be a WAY better idea out there.
As someone with an older truck, with plastic headlights that get that haze over them. Meguiars Headlight Restoration kit had mine cleaned up and looking/functioning like new.
Also, my black plastic fender flares had oxidized, and hitting them with a magic eraser got them back to looking new.
