An awesome trick i learned, though must be done every couple weeks or so depending on weather, is use a cap full of engine oil and spread it over the headlight lenses. A quart of oil for this specifically, will last years.
Ive been watching you channel for a while but only just realised that this is a nissan micra in aus... I have been thinking about a micra converted to rear drive with maybe ve commodore running gear as lemon endurace race car for a while. Such a nice looking little car with some aero!
I clear headlights, I just use whatever clear I'm using on the vehicle. Never had it crack or wrinkle. I sand off all the factory coating with 1000 dry. Finish with 1200 clean with antistatic and clear. The only thing You can see when done is whatever cracks are on the inside of the lense.
Use a UV cut clear coat 👍👍... Ex panel beater car painter and car groomer... Always dealing with yellow headlights... If you get new ones eventually put a UV cut clear on them before you fit them
Also... 2k paint will usually react with headlight plastic when applied in a normal (heavyish) manner... Several very light mist coats will work usually... But 1k clear is usually OK for that plastic....

Im impressed
Try some 303 aerospace protectant on your lenses. My bro who lives in NZ had the same issue and stopped them yellowing with regular applications

supposedly ceramic cook top cleaner is a good polish for old headlights, and its a cheap option.
👏🍺👍🏻
I replaced the lenses on my golf because they were worse then yours. If you can get them cheaper then new lights that could be a go.
