Foggy Headlights

[Bartron8000]

So what is the best method for fixxing foggy headlights? Should I just buy new ones, or is there a product out there to fix this?

[toucci]

get some plastic polish

are they clouded on the inside or outside?

[Bartron8000]

well I can't tell by lookin at them but I'm hoping its the ouside

[P-Funk!]

Is it kinda' yellow/hazed? Or drops of moisture inside that go away when the sun comes out and heats it?

Do a search for the procedure to wet sand and polish the lens (if it *is* the outside).

there is no color but it is cloudy. and does that product really work? it says if you catch it early, I got the car last april and its been like this since then. I don't want to waste $50 on something that might not work.

It will definately make it look better AND most importantly, it will keep it from getting any worse.

Mine just got worse and worse. I would sand them, would be good for awhile, then worse again.
Got tired of it and just got these.... works great:

they more than likely need to be wetsanded, then polished.

start with 1k and work your way to 2500, and then use a rubbing compound, and then work your way to a plastic polish.
im assuming you dont have an orbital polisher, if you do, after the wetsanding start with a pretty agressive polish on a orange pad, and work your way to a finer polish on white.

I ended up getting the black housing clear corners and I really made my car look a lot better.

theres a thread on those lights...i have em too. bought diff corners tho, but id stay away from the smoked corners that lokatech sells on ebay, the black ismore of a gunmetal when the sun hits it

the Meguiars Plast X stuff FTW
i used that on my old headlight and its like almost like brand new again
just sum scratches are still present but the lens are cleaned up good and i also took the time to clean the inside with the plast X stuff when i did my black housings again cause it looks better gloss than matte
