Default Plastic Headlamps (yet again)

I found a pic of what my headlamps look like that are close to how they are.. mine are not quite that bad..
see how it has random pitting.. now i had the idea of having my detailing guy at the dealership i was going to ask him next time i had my car detailed if he can buff them out and polish them, now wouldnt that make them alot better,, if not where can i buy new headlamp lenses that goes over the front, because the rest of the housing is in great shape, reflector and all. just the front lense.. anyone know where to get that?.. Question #1 bout the detailer is more important to me tho..

Shit. i'd pay anyone who would be able to help me to fix my problem and have some miracle thing to do to fix them without having them changed i dont wanna spend 400 bux +170 labor for honda to do it... but man i hate the pitting and scratches.. =(!!! gimme ideas.. ANYONE!
or even anything to ask the detailer to do because i called and they said they dont usually do anything to plastics, if you have any ideas let me no... this is super important to me. i already tried wetsanding that didnt help me much.. anything to mention the detailer to try?

thrs this one "deflector" thing that u put over ur head lights and is so strong, it can protect against rocks. its flexible and just sticks to the lense.

Meguires makes a plastic polish you can use for that. I have not used it but have heard good things from people that have tried it. I'd give that a shot, Meguires makes great car care products.
