Default Headlight fog???

My friend has a 96 integra with some really fogged headlights. Is there a product that can clean them or some other solution, other than new headlights?

your only options of getting rid of condensation issues are to take them apart and reseal them after having cleaned them, or as stated above if the lenses are cracked you are going to have to replace them.

OEM are very expensive new... your best bet would be to try looking on ebay for either used or some knock offs.

True that, Iv'e had some pretty shitty luck on ebay. Anyway did you get those halo ones, or did you just just stock replacements.
