Default Headlights cloudy

Anyone else have their headlights turn cloudy rather quickly? My ride is a 06 impala and they clouded extremely quick, maybe 3 years. All I have done is clean them when cleaning the car and have applied mothers plastic polish after they started turning.

yeah mine looked like someone jizzed all over them and it just wanted wash off, meguiars headlight restoration kit didnt even touch it, so i sanded them down, added eyelids and then clear coated them, wetsanded, and polished them, and they are still a bit "cloudy" but they look alot better i think ...

this is obviously after having only polished half of the sanded clear coat

i really only did this to get some more life out of the stockers until i get the projectors for the HID's or those all black DEPO housings, but ive not had the itch to get them because it turned out well enough .... plus i think it changes the flow of the front of the car aesthetically enough to draw your eye away from anyone thing ... like the gaudy stupid stock gold bowties
