I've seen cleaner solutions for the lens covers. Have you tried that? I have no personal experience, but I don't see why it wouldn't help if not solve the problem completely. Should be cheaper then buying a new cover or worse yet, a whole new headlight.

Greek, if you'll use the 3M Headlight Restoration kit and follow the instructions they'll come out like new....you'll need a high speed drill for the buffing pads. Riverside Infiniti sells the kit or you can buy them on line. I don't believe you can just buy the headlight covers....

Meguiars has a good headlight restoration kit i recommend it. The result is almost instantaneous and makes my headlights look over 90% new. give it a try.

Yea ive used the 3m kit before and its probably the best one ive used but its still not perfect. The only thing i can think of is to open the headlight and clean it from the inside but i heard u cant do that because there is some sort of sticky substance on the inside of the headlight

Greek, if there's anything inside your headlights that means the seals have failed. I recommend buying '06 projectors which are so much better than our '04 headlights which you can sell on our MARKETPLACE for about half the cost of the projectors. Guarantee the projectors will put a smile on your face every time you turn them on....I promise!

the inside of my projectors are dirty as sh*t. I plan on swapping my 05 lenses (clean as new) to my 06 projectors. Im hoping this will be an easy solution

3M is probably the best, but these are just temporary solutions. They're still going to weather down still.

You need to put a wax coat on or else the lenses keep yellowing after you clean them.

Best thing to do is buff them out and lay down a paint sealant or collinite wax for longevity and reseal every 4-6 months . After you buff them you remove the factory protection .
