i'm sure this has been discussed before on here, but is there anything that can be done about the "hazing" effect on the headlight covers? something more permenant than cleaning them over and over? i've seen services and whatnot where they clean them, but have always heard it'll come rite back within a few months. anybody know anything about this?

my thing is these covers cost too much to replace ever coupla years, cus that's about how long they seem to take to get rite back to that "hazy" state. and since they seem to always revert to that, i guess i'll just have to live with it, huh. ah well, thanks for the input tho. least now i know there's lil to no hope

oh, for real? maybe i was just assuming that they will revert back to being hazy… and you know what they say about assuming.
Here's the exclamation i always heard about why they get that way to begin with; condensation builds up on the inside and when you turn your headlights on, the oils and whatnot in the condensation get "baked" into the plastic. at least that's how i remember it—i could be wrong about that tho. i guess i figured if that's the case, then it'll happen to a new set of headlights just like it did to the old ones. but if y'all are saying replacing is the way to go, then i'll def consider it and shop around for some. thanks for the help with this.

you could always go to a custom glass shop and ask them to make you a glass cover to put over your lights but it would be permanent. so not worth it unless you got brand new lights. maybe a clear vinyl?
my dad actually uses some sort of silver polish i believe and it has kept them clean for at least 3 months now. i'll have to ask him exactly what he does if anyone is interested.
