Default Fogged Head Light Lens

Had someone try to clean my headlight lens and was told the seal is gone. I found Lens on Corvette Central online but they come with no instructions. No shop or dealer in the Northern Virginia area even realize there are replacement lens available. I have a 2007 C6 Corvette, the car looks pretty good except for the lens which takes away from the over all
appearance. What is a woman to do? Help!

Are you talking about the lens has that whitish look to it, or do you really mean foggy inside the lens?
If it is the whitish look, they do make a lens polishing kit that is available at most of the major auto parts store.
If it is fog inside I may be able to find the instructions on how to replace the lens itself. Dealerships don't make this well known as they would rather sell a complete head light assembly.

The lens appear to be fogged from the inside. Of the three dealerships I contacted (two were Chevrolet, one was a private Corvette. dearlership exclusively), one Chevy dealership said they couldn't guarantee the work. The other said send the link on Corvette Central because they didn't know that the lens existed. One Chevy dealership said to try leaving the lights on all day to burn away the condensation. If there are instructions available somewhere, just maybe I can find someone willing to install the lens. Do you know where I might find the instructions. I haven't driven the car because I want it to look right! Just call me vain!

I Googled this and here are some places to check into. I am thinking a couple of phone calls might get you going in the right direction. Good Luck ...

If I might make a suggestion. I know you want it to be perfect but taking the car out for an hour or so with the headlights on will probably get the condensate out if in fact that is what it is. The worst that could happen is that it doesn't work but what the heck you were out driving your car.

i get this in my fog light. im still under warranty. i wonder if its even worth complaining about. anyway, i feel your pain. leaving the lights on and burning it off will only work until it gets wet again. i've tried.

Thanks Paul for your reply. I am following up on all leads I get from the forum. Somewhere out there are answers and I plan to find them. I want my corvette to have "clear lens again. Help is out there!
