Replacing W211 Headlight Covers

I have a 2007 e320 (w211) with bi-xenon headlights. The plastic headlight covers were yellow and oxidized. I purchased replacement headlight covers on ebay several years ago and replaced them while servicing those headlights.

They looked great for a few years, but the ebay headlight covers have quickly yellowed.

I'd like to find a source of W211 headlight covers that actually have UV protection. Any recommendations?

I have mentioned elsewhere on the Mercedes-Benz forums that Bavgruppe Designs is quite popular for headlight modding and high-quality parts among BMW enthusiasts, and they offer headlight covers for 2007+ W211/S211 E-Class models. I don't have personal experience with them, but perhaps others in here have...

Painting your lenses with 2k clear coat or using Ppf film for the lenses are your best bet at keeping the yellow away.

UV is the culprit here.
