Fogged/Dirty headlights?

My headlights have gone that fogged/dirty look, anyone know any good ways to get rid of that other than buying new lights? And just out of curiosity, why are there 2 holes in the back of the headlight fixture?

Hmmm, that kinda makes me worry....

Also, is there anyway the inside could be dirty? If thats the case how would you clean the inside? Spray some kind of cleaner in the wholes in the fixture, then rinse it out?

the 2 holes are for moisture, so you dont have moisture filling up in your lights, they act as vents and i guess they dont work for you, my Halo's always fog up, that will change with new xenon lights, so yea buy new OEM lights or aftermarket, just dont get some gey ones lol.

I think hes talking about the discoloration and fogging over the front of them... A prominent known problem with those headlights.

Another reason why I love my headlights hahaha.

wet sand them, get some 400,600,800,and 1200, go in steps till the 1200, them get some good rubbing compound, i use 3m fine cut, and get a buffer and buff them out will look like new when done, just be carefull buffing them you can burn the plastic
