Plastic Headlight Lens Scratched

I have a 2000 GT and the plastic lens that the headlights shine through have
become scratched over time. Mostly thru road grit, I assume.

Is there a better than stock unit that won't become scratched or at least
last longer?

Thanks,

Dennis

Rather than buying new, try removing the scratches. MicroMesh has kits for
scratch removal; the one below is their cheapest one. They have other kits
for using with drills, with hook and loop, otherwise a little elbow grease
will make things better. I have this kit and cleaned up my gauge lenses with
it, as well as using it on my car's paint.

You beat me to it, but this same company has an acrylic lens restore
kit thats about $3 cheaper than their "hobby kit"
