Get a headlight restoration kit, it will have some sandpaper that will get scratches out unless they are real deep. Buy 6000k bulbs. Goodluck

If the scratches are deep, you're kind of SOL.

First thing to do is see if ScratchX will take out the scratches. If not, you'll need to sand/buff them out. Some of those kits don't work too well, but I've heard good things about the 3M HEadlight Restoration Kit. Others have been hit or miss from what I've read.

The best thing to do is take some sandpaper (1500/2000 grit) and block sand it, followed up with a buffer with polishing compound. Afterward, the best thing to do is reclear the lens to prevent hazing a few months down the road. If you don't want to clear it, the best thing to do is apply some protective compound to keep it protected from UV (Plexus is awesome). If you don't take care of the headlights after you sand/buff off the factory clear coating, it's going to yellow and haze like crazy. I've polished many headlights for friends and this is something that worked best for me.

3M makes one of the better headlight restoration kits available, nothing else measures up to their quality. I'd try plastic polish and buffer before investing in a restoration kit....
