Default Fogged Headlight/Blackhousing

OK guys, so I searched the site pretty thoroughly and didn't really find anything that helped...

So my dilemma is that I want to either blackhouse my stock headlights or by some blackhoused headlights from somewhere. The problem is that my left headlight housing is fogged...Is there a way to remove this fog completely, if so how?

Would it be better to try to remove the fog and DIY the blackhousing, or just go ahead and search ebay/internet for pre-blackhoused ones? THANKS

i did my own black housing and turned out great no leaks of any kind the fogging issue in your car can be water is seeping in so u can do it your self just pull them apart by melting the silicone and wiping and cleaning the headlight by some engine paint 1200*f and paint it ur self. cheaper then buying somehwere else just takes time took me bout 5 hours. heres a link of my headlight https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/m_5..._/tm.htm#56345

The other way to get rid of that film is a VERY high grit sandpaper so that's it's not course at all, then wrap it around a small block of wood, dunk it in some water and wet sand the headlights.... keep the paper wet and it will remove that stuff without screwing it up, then throw a nice light coat of wax over the top after you're done.
