I use meguiars scratch-x and platic polish. If you wanna take the lense off your light then just pop it in the oven @ about 200F for 10 minutes and pry it open with a flat scew driver.

after a good cleaning with a plastic cleaner or rubbing compound try applying some clear acrylic floor wax to the headlights. it fills in the small scratches and helps to 'clear' up the headlight even more.
