Headlamps 2001 Expy 4x4

I have done a search here did not see it so here is the question.
My headlamps continually get cloudy. Not in moisture but seems to be yellowing inside the covers. I have had them cleaned and even replaced with stock parts, same issue.

I live in Northern/Central California, not a road salt issue or dust bowl issue, just freeway and around town near the Capital, so weather conditions and such are out of the issue.

Can anyone recommend a different set that would work and I could finally see at night without seeing yellow.

That's car wash wax building up on them. You can actually scrape into it with your fingernail. I wetsand mine every so often with 2000 grit and it keeps them nice and new looking.

If it's easier for you, new ones can be bought for about $30 each which I believe also includes a new lamp.
