Lexus IS 250 headlights

[Heh]

Hi, Im conpletly out of my depth about what I need to do, so would appriciate step by step advice to my problem. I have a problem with headlights, lenses go yellow, looking foggy - definitely not clear and I hate it. What is a best way to go about replacing them? 
I looked at buying lenses only or 3rd party headlights but Im worried about MOT. Buying orginal units seems counterproductive as they all seem to go yellow and foggy. Any advice?

You can get headlight repair/polishing kits

You just need a headlight restoration kit. Meguiars or this one from 3M are both popular ones.

Plenty of 'how to' videos on YouTube as well.

Biggest thing is to finish off with a good quality UV resistant clear coat/top coat or they'll be just as yellow again in a few months.

I use this... works well and easy to use.

Maguire's Plast-X or sometime known as Plast-RX

you will have to do it every 6 months, takes about 20mins, comes out shiny

A normal UV protected clear coat should be fine. Something like this:
