Foggy Headlights

I've just bought my very own Max SE last week. I've gotta say that, even though its stock, I'm loving it. With that said, I'm planning on getting clear DC bumper lights for my 97, but I've noticed that my headlight and foglight lenses/casing is very cloudy looking. I'm worried that it won't match the new bumper lights. Is there any way I can get them more clearer than they are now?
I've noticed pictures of other Max's and their headlights are just as clear as their windshields! Thanks for your help in advance.

i cleaned mine. you have to stick em in the oven to get them apart, then you can clean the inside. not really hard at all. just put em in the oven for about 15 mins and then the two pieces will come apart, then about 10 more mins and then smush them back together. this only works for the headlights though. i dont think there is a way to clean the fogs

goodluck

Thanks for the quick reply.... did you just clean with soap and water?... should I also clean the reflective part as well?... if so, then with what?
I apologize if I've asked too much.

no prob. i cleaned it with some orange kitchen cleaner. im sure anything will work just fine. i cleaned the reflective part as well, and it turned out very nice. total time it took was less than 45 mins.

Thanks again for your help. Since I don't have a garage, I'll have to do this when the weather gets better. (damn that Vancouver weather!) - thanks!

i used a heat gun when i did my tails, and i would prefer the oven. your hand gets tired with the heat gun. easier just to throw em in the oven! either way works just as good tho
