There was a thread a few years ago on this. try the archives. As I recall some folks sugggested removing the headlights and removing the lights from the rear, and then using water and soap and soft cotton to try and CLEAN the interior of the lens and reflector. Not sure if this is good advice or not.

Be careful as the reflector might scratch and get duller but the inside (backside) of the lens will/should withstand some cleaning.

Dry thoroughly and re-install, and re-aim. Malcolm
