I wouldn't, they make a wax specifically designed for headlights. Something like this . (Meguiar's G17804 Keep Clear Headlight Coating, 4 oz.)

I use this (Blue Magic 730-6 Headlight Lens Sealer - 8 oz.)

I think you would be an absolute fool to do anything other than an OEM factory quality activated urethane based clearcoat. I personally would suggest sikkens, or dupont. Urethane activated clears are designed to give exterior body parts years of UV protection.

You aren't going to get anything good that comes from a shake-up and spray can.

Ive used different products in different headlights and the best so far are the Sylvania kits. Last for years and 20$ to boot.

I had my headlights done by a buddy who owns a body shop about 2 years ago. Lights still looks brand new. He sanded them and used some type of good clear and polished them.
