Headlights crystallized

My headlights look like they are either dirty or crystallized on the inside of the lens. I noticed a while back that they fog up on occasion when I go through an automatic wash. Is there any way to take them apart and clean the inside of the lens or should I just get new headlights?

Re: Headlights crystallized

well yeah you can heat them up in the oven and pull them apart, then wipe the inside with a cloth. try not to do it that much, cause the inner plastic scratches very easily.

Sounds like you have your headlights unsealed. Make sure that when you are done cleaning them, to seal it back up. Use chaulk or what have you. I believe there was a DIY somewhere here.
