This worked wonders for my headlights...It's that good!!!!

It's a 3-step method that involvs 3 different solutions, I swear by this stuff.

Oh, and I think you are SOL when it comes o the emblem. It seems as though the paint is starting to come up...the only other suggestion is to sand down the paint and repaint it...too much work when it only costs $10 from the dealer

Plastic polish will work on your headlights. Novus makes 3 different levels of abrasiveness. I got some at my local Harley shop. Meguiers makes some and there are others that I can't think of.

I am sure there are others, but I got this stuff awhile back when I had my car in college. I have never tried anything like Blues mentioned, but this stuff worked WONDERS for me.
