if its fogging up in like cold weather, that means you have a leak somewhere. first you can get a heat gun and open it up and clean out the inside. then try to get a hold of a c-clamp and re attach it while heating up the glue again. re seal with caulk and then your set.

get a helms shop manual http://www.helminc.com

if theoutside glass is dirty you can polish it with some automotive grade sandpaper (start at like 1500grit and go to 3000 then polish).

if it's the inside the hairdryer works....

however, you have to remove the whole front end to remove the headlights, correct?

Same kinda problem here... think its the inside of the headlight thats dirty... so i know i can try hairdryer to dry it after cleaning, but how to get inside to do the cleaning?? is it as lame as puttin some polish on the end of a stick type of thing and cleaning from the hole where the bulbs go in?

Thx!
