Of course inevitably, those 95+ headlight covers get fogged. Mine are still clear, but yellow is coming on. where can i find these headlight covers, and possibly cheap!

No need - Search the forums for "NOVUS" - It's all you need to restore those lenses to perfect crystal clarity. Order it online or buy at an aquarium shop.

Novus is a plexiglass polish and will remove the yelloweyness from the outside of the lenses. Unfortuneately the discoloroation comes back, must be sumthin to do with UV light.

I don't know about that Novus thing, propably works, but if you do buy new headlamps you will be happy, very happy. I got into an accident and they replaced mine and they look amazing. I love them. They are brand new. But they did cost like $140 a piece, according to the piece of paper from the collision center. So I would definetly try the Novus stuff first.Josh
