What can be done to prevent the headlight covers from becoming discolored and hazed.

dont know of any one having an issue with the gen 2 headlights discoloring, just keep them clean, I used plastic polish twice a year same when i clayed my truck spring and fall

A simple wax twice a year should suffice. You could do it 4 times a year if you wanted or even 52, it only takes maybe 10 minutes to do both.
I wax the headlights whenever I wax the truck, so once every 3 months.

the fogging is caused by UV exposure tho. waxes and polishes may help but its goin to happen sooner or later

If the polish/wax has UV inhibitors, it will be fine. If there does happen to be some discoloration, some 3M compound will do the job perfectly.

I am going to use Flitz. It has been around a long time and in the marine industry, it works great for polishing everything from aluminum to lexan and isinglass. It does not have abrasives and will bring things to "new" condition with the buffer attachment on a drill. My lights are fine, but the wife's Altima are a mess. I used the 3M kit on them a few months back and it worked OK but wasn't very impressed with it. Will let you all know how it goes after this weekend.

you could also coinsider a 3m plastic coating on front

This is what I use to bring back some pretty yellow headlights:
Amazon.com: PERFECTIT II RUBBING COMPOUND 3M 16OZ: Automotive
Works like a charm.

I've never tried the headlight resto kits.
