Try using some 1500 grit (or higher if possible) wet dry paper over whole thing that apply clear coat lightly, apply again after first bit drys and keep going till you get a smooth finish

With clear coating your tail lights its a good idea to have the tint coat smooth before clear coating and they are dust free. With getting the clear coat smooth rub it down as suggested with 1500grit or 2000grit wet n dry paper untill you run your hand over it and feels smooth then apply clear coat again or buff the tail lights up. But i would opt for .... rub, clear, rub some more and clear again then rub once more till very smooth and then buff the lights untill all light scratch marks are gone.
