Default How to clean headlights?

I just purchased my Z and noticed today that the lights are fogging/staining I guess somewhat on the lens. Im wondering if this can be taken care of by getting a headlight defogger kit to clean them up or if I just need to go ahead and get new headlights.

Meguires PlastX work great to clean up the outside, but if you have any fogging or stains on the inside you will have to take apart the housing, clean 'em and re-seal 'em.

Nah its not fogging up at all, just getting slightly sun blurred if you will from being outside all the time I guess. I bought it used and the previous owner didnt give a shat about the car so Im having to fix a couple things on it to get it to my standards.

From what i understand...I've heard a few folks take this back under warranty. I've got the same problem, used Meguires, but still have some hazing going on. I will try to reapply again and if that doesn't work, I'm off to the dealer.
