We've got about 210,000mi on the car at the moment, and the clear plastic
lenses for the headlights are getting decidedly yellowed/murky after so
long


A Mondeo perchance?

It's because the wrong bulbs have been fitted, you need the 'proper'
Ford ones which don't emit UV, which causes the plastic to yellow.



Surely you are likely to get more UV from sunlight than driving with the
lights on?
