If your lights dusty/fogged up from the inside you could do two things to clear them up.<p>1. Take your lights apart and clean them. To take them apart you need to bake/heat them up in the oven over 10 min period. Preheated oven to 225F. Turn oven off when lights are inside. Use cookie sheet. You will need to use Black RTV sealer to put them back together. Make sure no leaks (air test, plug vents)<p>
2. Use distilled water and gentle soap and try cleaning them without taking them apart. Rinse. Air dry.

I had yellow head lights to when I got my Mx, but I found a lil trick that worked pretty well. I went to pep boys and got a can of turtle wax polishing compound, I rubbed on a thin coat and wiped it off, you seen all the yellow come off. so I did a couple more coats, crystal clear. :idea:
