Depot are Chinese and don't last very long. Better treat the OEM ones you have and they will stay clear for a couple of years like the new Depots. I wet sand them with 1200 sand paper, then shoot them with some clear, the kind they paint stores use, the result is not bad, and the cost is minimal.

the OE ones fade much faster than the Depo's as Depo used a /better/ plastic that doesn't yellow in UV light. I believe the OE volvo lamps were polycarbonate.
I've had very poor results from trying to polish OE headlights on various cars, they look good for 6 months, but if that car is in the sun all day every day, within a year they are nearly as bad as they were when you started. I've used Depo lights on my 240, my 740T wagon, my wife's old Camry, and several Mercedes W124 E classes, with great results on all of them.
