most likely its on the inside..i had the same problem and i used a blowdrier and some plastic cleaner..its evaporated most of the haze off..but u have to seal the lights up right or else you'll get moisture in there

[QUOTE]Toothpaste.. wet the lights a bit.. and rub in some toothpaste generously..
let it sit about 5 mins.. get a clean somewhat damp towel.. and rub out the paste.. then dry.. should be somewhat clearer.. it worked on my eclipse when i had it. and a few other cars...
[QUOTE]

also works well on scatched CD's.
