I had a freaind that went to walmart and got some 1500 grit sandpaper and a wax. they came out really well. but you gotta keep the wax on all the time

isnt the fog cause the seal in the headlight is or was broken, allowing moisture to get in there and fog up and then stain the inside of the lens?
if that is what happen then pop em open and clean the hell out of them then wax and seal them up good with some epoxy or somthing along those lines

if its on the outside then do as girafro says

wet sand or just regular??

brokenheadz2003 brings up a good point - you've first got to figure out why they're foggy - whether it's from oxydation or condensation. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif[/img] Usually not too hard to tell, though.

ok, i can help, try Meguiars "Plastx" it is a clear plastic cleaner and polish. used it on my headlights and foglights and it worked great got rid or oxidation and the headlights looked like new. try it out. a little goes a long way. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif[/img]

OK mine are getting condensation on the inside?? I have an 01 SC2. How hard is it to take them appart?

I would also like to match paint my head lights too. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif[/img]

shouldnt be too hard, razor blade should probly do the trick, just DONT crack them and make sure you seal them them up good or it will happen again. i think there is a DIy post on painting ion headlights, that should give you a rough idea on how to take them apart

woot woot found the linky

Bake the headlights...A few guys on the coloradofans.com site have baked, and taken out the reflectors, also a couple have painted up the black plastic inside them.

Step one, Remove headlights and all bulbs and wiring...
Step two, Place in oven on 200* for about 10 minutes and check to see if the sealant has been melted yet, if not, then put back in periodically for 2-5 minutes.
Step three, remove, and use a flathead screwdriver or other flat tool to pry gently the lens away from the housing.
Step four, do what you gotta do to them lights.
Step five, get some good sealant, like epoxy and seal them up, and you are done.

napa also has some stuff you can try. i had a 96 neon that turned cloudy and yellow. i used this stuff and it cleaned the stuff off and cleared the headlights like new. also made them shiny.

The stuff is in a little white bottle and has blue lettering. its like 6$ a bottle. theres a cleaner then a polish.

Sry dont have the name, but if you look im sure youll find it and it works awsome

[fastsatty]

its on the inside of the headlight though

[brokenheadz2003]

the you gotta take em apart like i said in an earlier post....then clean the shit out of them with whatever you can the seal them back up.....make sure you seal it good or it will do it again
