Default headlight replacement lens

is it possible to purchase new headlight replacement lens for my blob eye?

Mine are getting rather yellow/green and could do with replacing, I've machine polished them and it worked great until it rained and they went back to being dull.

I've detango'd and have sprayed the inside black so it'll be annoying to have to redo all of that.

Or if there is a proven headlight cleaner to work and stand the test of time!

2000 grit wet and dry paper and a bowl of soapy water, sand them back and then buff up with compound or any abrasive polish.

Toothpaste is supposed to work well.

Did my driving light clear covers with a machine polisher and cutting compound. DO NOT go too fast or you risk melting the plastic.
