put them in the oven to open them up, dry them, then reseal them nice and tight. looks like you might need to wet sand them too to clear them up...

first see if that **** is even on the inside. 9 times out of 10 its not.. just go get 1000, and 1500 grit wet/dry sand paper, a bucket of water with a couple drops of soap.. wetsand the headlight til u see it starting to clear up.. dry it off, make sure you got it nice n clear.. the whole lens should look blurry.. then get a high speed buffer, some meguiars cleaner wax, or one of their plastix products and buff the lens til its nice n clear..

my dad had a bunch of pits and **** on his lens so we did this in the driveway at home...
