How to clean fogged up headlights?
My MY00 has some pretty foggy headlights, anyone know how to clean it? I think it's due to condensation inside the headlights.

if you go to the wash and wax section you can find out what to use to clean up the outside, but if its really condensation you will have to pull them apart and let them dry and re glue them

I am going to tell you how I did mine. I picked up my s2000 last week. The headlights had a foggy haze to them when you turned them on, almost to the point where the HID had sort of a glare to it.
I used a headlight cleaning kit made by Bright Solutions and believe it or not if worked excellent. Lights look only a few months old now and most of it was on the outside not the inside of the headlight assembly.

Meguiar also has a product called PlastX for cleaning plastic headlights/taillights. I've used it to clear the haze on the outside of my '92 ES300 headlights and it works great. I also use it to maintain the headlights and taillights on my S2K.
I do not have condensation problems inside the headlights so I have not tried it there - I'm guessing it will work there as well but taking the headlight apart is probably difficult.

I don't really know if it's condensation. The headlights are fogged and I wasn't able to do anything to it by wiping with car wash solution.
I'll try buying the PlastX. I'm assuming this is helpful for the plastic rear screen as well?
