Yeah, they're plastic too. The 3M kit works very well, or you can just buy some fine grit wet/dry sandpaper and have at it. Then get some plastic polish.
I got my 3M kit for $10 at walmart. They charge about $25 at auto parts stores.

3M plastic cleaner, then 3M plastic polish, then a coat of wax. They will look MUCH better after that.

I can understand wet sanding for the headlights since they develop that yellow haziness, but the tail light plastic is different and would have to be really neglected to require wet sanding.
If it's just typical surface scratches and slight dulling, then cleaner/polish should be plenty.

Ya found I didn't really need 3000 grit even just rubbin compound lol. Started with 800 on a small area and was like woah don't need that lol. The rubbing compound shined it up nicely. I could of 3000grit to get the bigger scratchs but didn't want to weaken the plastic.
