Certainly another famous French car seems to have this issue.

Lots of modern car headlights have this issue. Polycarbonate absorbs UV,
which crazes the out surfaces. So surface removal works, but when
manufactured, they had some sort of UV proofing coating. That coating
eventually wears away, leaving the polycarbonate with little protection.
Fine abrasive polishing brings the clarity, but with none of the original
protection, they very quickly degrade again.

Ideally, what is needed is a DIY clear spray, which is proof against UV to
protect the polycarbonate lens once it has been restored.
