Arrow Replacement R230 Headlight Lens?

Does anyone have a lead on a replacement R230 headlight lens? Aftermarket is fine.

I have buffed mine, sanded them, UV clearcoated them, and ceramic coated them all in effort to bring them back to life but they still have a slight haze/yellowing to them.

I just sanded and buffed the headlights on my R231. The covers were pitted (from sand, I think). It fixed that problem, but I notice there's a slight image of the xenon bulb "burned" into the cover. That didn't come out. On the R231 it's apparently not possible to replace the cover. The entire assembly is about $2K (each side) so that's out.
