dirty headlights

Ive had my 06 coupe for about 6 months now and I noticed the inside of my headlights are getting kinda dirty on the inside. It doesnt have that shiny look anymore. How can i fix this

are they dirty? or hazy/cloudy? eithery way, its fixable

i have a feeling that its cloudy/hazy..if thats the case ive fixed this problem on my old car and all my friends cars with something made by bluemagic (i found it at both autozone and pepboys)

"Plastic & Plexiglass Cleaner and Light Scratch Remover" made by BLUEMAGIC

use a microfiber cloth and rub it on in a circular motion until it dries then clean it off with a new cloth. repeat as necessary.

but remember to clean it off between every application..if you dont clean it then theres really no point in putting a second layer on..

i hope this helps..

If they're hazy/cloudy, they shoud be changed under warranty.
