Whoa, hey. Slow down bro. Before you go getting new headlights, try Meguiars. They have a 3 stage car paint scratch removal system, saved the headlights on my 2000 R6. Seiously. I know its meant for paint, but it honest to God works on lenses. And, you dont need any tools or buffer devices, you can totally do it by hand. If you take your time with it and do each stage carefully and properly, you will end up with lenses so smooth they look like mirrors.
As for the bubbles on the 03 headlights, I like em. I like em alot. I think they are stylish and unique - to each their own I suppose. I just hate that damn amber so much.
