Get some Goo off or something like that. That should get it off. Good luck.

I used brake cleaner to get it off mine. Spray it on a rag but don't use too much. It has been about a month and my headlights look immaculate (no fading).

Okay, speaking from experience here do NOT EVER use goof off on any plastic. I murdered one of my headlights trying to get that infernal black goo off of my chrome piece and my clear plastic cover.
