Default little tiny scratches all over top of GXP's headlamps?

Anybody else have little tiny scratches all over the top of their GXP's head lamps? I can't figure out what has caused those...

Pretty sure mine has them too, I imagine they'll buff/sand out, but I havent been overly concerned with them since it's my dd and I figure they'd come right back.

i replaced mine at 16k. ScratchX only made the scratches and hazing worse. The $100 replacements off of ebay have held up better than the stockers and don't look any different.

Rock Auto has replacement assemblies starting @ $49.79. I have bought a few assemblies from them and they seem to be good.

I don't understand why I have these scratches. I assume it's from the lights being on full time, I just leave the lights on auto instead of turning them on and off. Perhaps it's from washing the car and the headlights potentially being hot. It's pretty bothersome looking, but oddly, sometimes the scratches disappear...
