when you wash your car, the detergent you use sort of fuses to the plastic, mixed with the heat of the bulb, it just bakes on there. my dad owns a couple of carwashes, and i worked there for about five years. my maxima that i used to have had it really bad on the lights, what i did was got a high speed buffer with a soft buffing pad and some plastic window polish(jeep windows, convertable tops ect..) and just buffed it out, you may also be able to use a clay detailing bar. just my two cents
