Hey everyone talks about having clear headlight lenses, instead of the stock covers that eventually fog over. I was wondering.. does anybody know where i can find some? thanx

I was wondering the same thing...

I dont belive they are manufactured any longer. Check ebay every now and then. They dont replace the stock lens cover, they just kind of snap on top of them. If your stock lens are foggy you can clean them inside and out, which will make them look brand spankin' new. People like the clear covers because you can paint them without worrying about ruining your headlights.

ha thanx man.. yea i'll take em off and take the Mothers cleaning stuff to em! cant wait! thanks for the repliez<p>~ sam

You can try Meguiars Plastix cleaner too. I should say it works better than mothers to me. But its up to you.

How do U Clean the inside of them?

In my case I just used hair dryer and took me about 4 hours to finish the job. So i suggest you do what slick did with a heat gun. I heard you can put heat it in Oven too but you have to watch it....i tried that on my altezza's and almost melt one of the red caps... also his idea of using spreader to pry the lense i believe is better than using flat screwdriver(what i used) because our headlight housing are quite old and easy to break. I chipped some few parts on my housing because of using that. But you do whatever is easy for you.<p>hope this helps

I put mine in the oven for about 2 minutes on 250 degrees. Doesnt damage the light at all and it works perfectly. Took me about 2 hours but thats just because i was taking my time and watching a movie.

Well if you really want glass lenses on your car, it should be possible to get som from europe.

yea i hear that the different models (such as european and japanese) have different things in their cars.. like those wierd headlights and taillights that are somehow cooler than american ones! anywayz what happens if we scratch the cheap plastic lenses? or warp them? (hehe) does anybody know where to get replacements, or are they just out of production? thanx

to put the lights back together, i just reheat them and put them together?

or should i use new sealant or both heat and new sealant?

thanks

If you mess up the light Mazda gets about 250 for one last I checked. More easily gotten from a junker, but still expensive and then you have to start the cleaning over again.
I use the Meguires stuff over other brands too. A Dremel on a lower speed with a buffing pad works well and saves time.

im confused because my headlights and tail lights look the same to yours
apparently we get glass ones, but they still seem foggy to me??

I'm confused as to why a 3+ year old thread about this was resurrected LOL
