had the same problem, took both my heaqdlights out, stuck them in the oven at 300 degrees for a little bit, 15 mins or so, then that loosens the glue in them, pull them apart, clean them up very good, and seal the **** out of them so they dont leak, min was cracked, so i had a lot of crap built up in there, but it saved me from buying new headlights..

you guys make it seem more complicated than it already is...

homie just leave your lights on... the small amounts of heat from the bulb should cause those stupid water deposits to disappear... it worked on mine.

if you leave em on for every either your battery dies or you need to go fill up a new tank of gas

The problem is that this is just a temporary fix. The condensation is going to come back. Resealing the lense is the best option is there's a condensation problem.

To the original poster, are you lenses just dull or is there a condensation problem?? If they're just dull, then using EO Never Dull will clear up the lenses. However, if you have a leak, then resealing is the best option.

3M makes a light cut rubbing compound for repairing flaws in paint.Works on headlights too.Just takes 4 to 5 times going over them.Don't just put it on like a wax either.rub that stuff in.If it tries to dry while your rubbing,put it on there thicker.Got the stuff at WAL-MART.
