I have an 08. The head lights look like they are cloudy or have a film look to them. Condensation? Never see any moisture in them, but they just look like they have had moisture in them. I have seen the video of the guy heating them up and putting on new lenses. NOT for me. anyone else got any ideas.

Not really many options, either have someone rebuild them or buy new ones which can be very expensive. I guess buy used is a option, but you risk having the same problem all over again.

Sometimes when things seem to look a little funny, I just tend to not look anymore.

If you think it's moisture, try parking it in the direct sun for a few days to let it dry out.

The only other option besides buying new or used headlights, or installing new lenses, is to cut your exiting ones off, clean the film off the inside and re-glue them back on.

If it is moisture in the headlights, remove the rubber boots in the back of the headlights, and direct a hair dryer in there to dry out the lenses.

I did the lens cutting, painted my bezels black and re-glued the lenses back on.
There are a few tricks to assure that moisture won't be a problem after re-gluing the lenses back on.
I have a PDF of the entire operation if your interested.
It takes 10-15 minutes to cut off the lenses. Not long to reglue them, but 24 hrs for the glue to cure.


you can see where the lenses were reglued. The glue is hidden by the rubber gaskets and cannot be seen once the headlights are installed and covered by the bumper/fender.
