Here's what I did:
If you're patient and careful, it'll turn out great.
Got this one. Totally recommend.
Headlight cover polishing/cleaning kit. Uses 2 progressively finer sandpapers (2000 & 3000?) to wet sand out the scratches, then a buffing compound to polish back to clear. Works great. This is what I used.
Yes it does. Four steps total; 1000 grit sanding, 3000 grit sanding, plastic cleaner w/ drill operated buffing wheel, then sealer.

Try the Meguiar's heavy duty headlight kit Worked really well for me on my CRV's really faded lights.
Started with 600 grit, then followed the directions on the box, just changing sanding directions (up/down vs left/right) after every step in grit. Go slow, and use a lot of water, takes about 30-40 minutes per light to get it lookin right but its worth it. Before and After results with said kit.
That won't be a covered repair. I would get this
Right here
To build on my post: I've used this restoration kit with really good results. Your headlights may need some extra elbow grease to get rid of that outer crusty layer. But I noticed that my headlights were yellowing again within a few months, so I bought a pre-cut Lamin-X film kit. It is kind of expensive (roughly 50 bucks) but it was cut to my car's headlights exactly and sealed everything up perfectly.
In your quest to paint the car, I recommend checking out this build thread I read a while back. A guy on a forum I use completely repainted his car in John Deere yellow for pretty cheap and he documented the entire process with pictures. One of the most helpful things I have read when it comes to DIY automotive painting.

You can buy a 20$ kit from any car part store usually has different levels of sand paper grit and a polish and takes around an hour and your headlight will look like brand new once done.. just did mine. I used this onehttps://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G2980-Heavy-Headlight-Restoration/dp/B01M2D763D/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537212493&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=meguiars+headlight+restoration+kit&dpPl=1&dpID=51bAUJSl45L&ref=plSrch
I use the Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit It does need to be redone about every 6 months or so, but it only takes 15-20 minutes to pop out the headlight assemblies, do the restoration, and reinstall them.
BTW, is that a 2004? Looks a lot like my front end, except I have a bug deflector.
I bought this from AutoZone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2D763D/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_iJMGAbCQR9GPR
