ORIGINAL: 2000Ex

It is on the outside. One guy said to vent his headlights he drilled three really tiny holes in the headlights. Not something I would do but it might make sense to you.

yeah, that was me...like he said, i wouldn't recomend it, but it does work for a quick and cheap fix...all really is is trapped moister and has no way to get out, creating a "foggy" look. I've had to do it on a few cars myself. just use the smallest drill bit so it's less noticable.

We use this stuff on our headlight housings over at the TCCA... Novus polishing compound, seems to work pretty well. There are also other products out there, I just can't think of them off the top of my head..

You need to wet sand them. KEEP THE SAND PAPER WET!!! Also helps if you use a little dawn soap with it. Start with 800 grit then move to 1000 then to 1600 then to 2000 and finally to 3000. Then after that you need to use polish on them. It's a long process but they will look beautiful after word.

I have the same problem. Mine have a foggy film on the INSIDE, as well as water condensing on the inside of the headlights. I'm thinking about just replacing them, but I saw this thread and wanted to make a post to see what I should do. Anything special to do in order to fix this? Any help would be much appeciated. Thanks.
