If you have condensation inside the lenses, there's probably nothing that you can do but turn the lights on for a bit to heat up the air inside. If you want to clean up the surface of the lens, I use claybar. Clay works nicely for all glass.

yea if the foggyness is on the outside of the lense i did it with my friends car... just wet sand it with high grain sand paper and rumb it with rumbing compound after...if its on the inside.. either ur headlight is craked an water an air is getting inside or theres a break in the seal ....an if its the seal u can always put it in the oven for abit until an maybe the seal will fix itself wen it melts bak into place.. an if its craked ur HOSED lol

Meguairs makes a new product PLASTIX that does a very good job at restoring foggy plastic head lights. Its applied by hand just like wax or polish. Give it a try! ... I always start with the easy solutions first and work my way up but in this case, I didn't have to. The easy solution worked.

I've heard that is a good product, but I've never tried it. Is it a polish or a finish (wax or polimer)?

It's a micro-abrasive cleaner & polish with polymers (as I read from the label ) . I actually misspelled it also...it's PLASTX. Cleans plastic headlights, convertible windows and even scratched CD's. I've used it on 2 different vehicles and the results were impressive....haven't tried it on a CD yet. And, best of all, it was only like $6. I normally use nothing but Meguiars products...they are top of the line. For anyone not familiar with Meguiars, check out their website...you'll be amazed at some of the stuff they offer ( btw, I am not affilitated with the company, just a satisfied customer). http://www.meguiars.com/

It works extremely well with the Mother's Mini Powerball.

Well...While I love Meguiars and all....I would go as far to call them the best....poor boys puts out some damn good stuff and much of theirs I prefer even over Meguiars...Meguairs is nice because I can get most of it straight off the shelves so for conveinence factor yes, they are great.

I have used the PLASTX before with VERY good results, but have also sanded/buffed some lenses out before and those came out a little cleaner
