Take them to an automotive body and paint shop and have them repaired. You will save several hundred dollars.

have them repaired? How can you repair foggy hazy plastic? There is nothing wrong with the lights, all I want is for the clear cover to be clear and new looking.

I dont think op can afford new headlights since a few years ago he was trying to run regular gas instead of premium to save 100 bucks a year....

"Couple hundreds" oh didnt know you were rocking cheap chinese crap... well then... this was a huge waste of time...

Its 650 per head lights from courtesy parts. Thats 1300 total. Its about 500 for the depo housing. But you know ching chong crap is gonna be cheaper cause its crappier.

Depo is garbage. If your OEMs aren't cracked, get them polished (or just polish them yourself - there are literally thousands of how-tos on YouTube).

Hey there OP,

More than a few jerks in this forum, just ignore the children.

The Depo lights are fantastic, so if you want a new set of lights that rival the oem bi-Xenons they're your best bet.

Or if you need replacement headlights oem style just buy used from Craigslist, eBay or this forum's for sale section.... You can get mint condition oem bi-xenons for $300-600 depending on seller.

Hope this helps,
