Are you sure they're not just foggy on the outside? This is a common problem with the lexan lenses. Before you start taking things apart, polish them with some Blue Magic as mentioned in the Appearance FAQ.

One of mine fogged up and I polished it with plastic polish and it came out great. If its on the inside too, you have to take out the three(I think) bolts that hold in the light, two under the hoodand one behind the front bumper. After that you can take off the metal clips that go around, then heat up the seal and pry the two pieces apart. Just be careful when your doing that. You will have to seal the light again when putting it back together. Correct me if im wrong about anything.

there's a whole section somewhere on the site. probably in the FAQ. or barry's site. i forget. but he explains in detail how to remove/polish your headlights out. so detailed even a girl could do it ;) works like a charm.
