Headlight ??????

I have a 03 Coupe, and the headlights are very cloudy, is there anything i can do as far as replacing them with something that is weather resistant? Maybe a 05 or 06 headlight will bolt right in.

The 2006 headlight will bolt right in. I swapped mine in about an hour.
Good luck.

Im not sure what you are describing exactly as "cloudy", whether its inside the lamp housing or outside, but i know for a fact, today... I went to Auto Zone and bought a product that completely cleaned my headlights and took off the "yellowing and cloudiness" that i had before. The difference was night and day. I thought at first that the cloudiness was inside the housing, but almost all was external except the yellowing.

Mine were like that when I first got my sedan. It is what happens to the plastic from the sun. I used plastic cleaner and polish to get them back to new-like quality and then put 3M clear bra on them to make sure it didn't come back.

you find them at ebay, they go for $250 " because they are defactive, but IMO it's not a big deal"

Gdirty, what did you use? was it meguiar's plastx? my headlights dont have any yellow but they have alot of spots, either wax spots or bird sheet. it looks like wax spilled on the interior of my headlight or something. kinda weird. i was looking to get the headlights as well. but if they could be cleaned then i could wait. 250 is actually pretty cheap compared to what i found.

Fogged headlamps are normally on the outside, eventhough it looks like it's inside.

Plastic cleaner is the key.. however, many don't last long.

Check this product out. These guys are supposedly so good that the feds fund them to keep this product going.

This one specifically states that it a permanent fix... not a few weeks like Plastex and the 3M one... and it's guaranteed.
I orded mine today.
