In the search I found best to use "Renovo Plastic Polich" and/or Plexus Plastic Polish.

yup, boat stores carry lotsa good detailer stuff usually.
i would start with plexus (a great product!)- it isnt aggressive as a polish (its just a cleaner/protectant) but is a great preservative and is a very good cleaner.
renovo is (as it says) a polish- so it is made for scratch removal- try it on a very small area first to make sure it doesnt make the problem worse. if it is working, then expand the area. should be a good choice. if this works, you could finish it off with the plexus (and i actually zaino my lights too).

Plexus/Plexall (basically same product) can also be found at Motorcycle Dealers and Motorcycle Accessory dealers. It is great stuff to clean your helmet visor or front windscreen.

It can also be used to clean Lexan since it scratches easy. It can be readily found at any place that sells Lexan as well.

First I'm going to do a wet sand, buff, then if the scratches still persist, Plexus and Renovo....

Thanks everyone!

Last resort: Go to junkyard, buy a headlight, take off lens, replace lens....
