Adaptive Headlights
So my headlamps lenses are badly scratched, and lights are distorted. Does anyone know of a service that will replace the plastic lens? My housing is fine, and I've had the headlights professionally buffed, but no joy. I've heard to may bad stories about aftermarket, so OEM or if someone out there refurbs the headlights. thanks

Buffing will not remove the deep scratches. You need to water sand the plastic lens, starting with 400 grit and move up to 1500 grit, thereafter use an orbital buffer with 3m perfect compound to bring to a shine

The 06 lights are not bake-able. Hella changed to epoxy seal some time in 2003. So the lenses can't be replaced.
As suggest above, restore them or replace the whole assembly.

Restore the lenses by wetsanding and polishing to perfection - now since you have removed the factory clear on the lenses because of the sanding, you need to replace the coating on the lens- Optimum Polymer Technologies makes a great product called Opti Lens which is a coating for your headlights so the fading does not return
