Lack of cleaning is not the cause of the haze. I also tend to put the blame on UV exposer and the "sandblasting" that the headlights endure on the roads at high speeds. Having a garage does wonders to keep the lenses from hazing. My neighbor just traded in her X, (garage kept and city driving only) same year as my X but the lens looked brand new!
I think the vinyl lens covers that are sold out there would help keep the hazing from occurring as they are filter out the UV rays and protect from debris.
