I considered having them clear coated and there is actually a Youtube video showing this done. However, I couldn't find much information on durability or whether it caused a long-term problem with the headlight material. So I decided to go with the Sylvania UV protectant. Consumer Reports tested it and found it durable. Time will tell. If if doesn't work out, I'll try clear coat the next time.
Nine8Six - thanks for all your feedback and encouragement. It made me believe this was possible. Do you think I should sand off the amber on my current headlights before I put them up for sale? I've seen a few threads on this and it looks like a fairly straightforward process.
It is getting dark around 5:00 pm here in the northern hemisphere. The litronics look better on the car and provide much more light. A real win-win situation.
