Unfortunately there is no easy or cheap fix. Keep checking on e-bay, you can find a good pair for about 150.

Hey foxtrot, there's a hazy headlight remedy in the x type faq quick link I think, or possibly the detailing section, but it sounds as though you've kinda done this procedure. If the problem is inside you could always take the lamps apart as some have done to install the Audi R8 style led lights. It involves placing them in the oven if I remember rightly for a short period oftime to loosen the adhesive and then they need prised apart. You'll need to be doubly sure when you re assemble them to seal them so as to avoid moisture ingress.....there's a few posats on this procedure somewhere I'm sure
