@particlewave? Is this still a threat with litronics?
The only time I've seen actual burning of the main outer lens is when someone does the fog light DRL hack while using halogen bulbs.
I think you may be referring to UV discoloration, which can change the color of the lens throughout. You can remove the outer oxidation and apply new UV resistant clear coat, but still have discolored lenses. There is no fix for this as the problem has permeated the material itself.
And yes, this can happen on Litronics. The only fix is new headlights.

To the OP: I'm not knocking your efforts. It's always great to see people putting work into a project. I'd just hate to see you ruin your headlights as they are not cheap.
