Mine were getting bad but not too noticable when I used it, Im just a neat freak and notice the slightest things starting to go wrong and try to fix them before the fully do. So it seems new lights are the only way to go and oem are sooo exspensive. Also I'm almost certain you cant just replace the lense but it would be a life saver if you could.
Just a note, be sure to apply the "sealant" that comes with the kit once in a while---with the kits, what you're doing is basically sanding down a layer of the plastic. You also remove whatever UV protection layer there was on the plastic. It is important to use the sealant once in a while after you use the restorer kit; otherwise, you'll be back to yellowish haze in no time.
