Nano ceramic coating new headlights

I am installing a set of new headlights on my '09 Fit, and would like to ceramic coat them prior to installation. Really pissed me off the previous ones only lasted 3 yrs until they are now hopelessly hazed over. I've been through the waste of time that is sanding/restoring the set before those, which effectively ruined them. Never again. So I'm rather keen to protect the virgin lenses before they get exposed to the elements. can anyone recommend a quality nano ceramic kit specifically for polycarbonate headlight lenses? I've browsed a few so far, but haven't made a decision. Also, tips for application? I've read about watching for the coating to "flash" then buffing it away, and one product says it flashes more slowly so you can buff it before it cures too quickly (?). Just want to know what I'm doing before I go at it on a brand new pair of TYC's

As far as I know the main cause of lens fogging is caused by UV light. As such then a coating which provides good UV protection is needed.

I ordered a ceramic coating kit from Avalon King

Good first-time buyer $25 off regular $70 kit price. I'm only doing the new housing/lenses, but this is also intended for the entire paintwork. Worth the small investment to help protect the exterior of your vehicle
