They are made of glass - and strangely enough we were discussing the same thing on the .co.uk sister site. Start by cleaning up the inner parts:

....and then use lacquer and 800-grit paper to get rid of pitting on the front of the glass - it usually takes a couple of coats to look good again.

Is it possible to get the FTP glass somewhere?
I have one plinker cracked and really would want to fix them.
Andre, If the FTP has a rock chip like a windshield, you might try a chip repair like a windshield. Before i got new FTPs I had a chip done and it greatly reduced the visibility just like happens on a successful windshield repair. It is still there, but the resin fills the chip and makes it much less noticeable. Just a thought.

It's has a crack
I would suggest putting some Lamin-x or similar on the strip lights and the headlights. Will prevebt this sort of thing.
