Had a similar type thing when i bought my car mate, looks like some sort of condensation or mist on the lenses. Asked around for ages on how to clean inside until a friend revelaed it was actually the plastic on the outside of the lenses that was deteriorating. Got some stuff called Mothers clear lense polish, went over them a couple of times now they are crystal clear. All the best.

Brasso works best.

I've used a fine cut polish on my lights a few times and they come up really good.

But after about a month they are back to looking crappy

Ryobi - that mothers stuff that you've used, does it keep the lights clear, or are yours the same as mine and go crappy again after a month ??

yep same thing. I use cut and polish on the head lights but after a month or two it goes all crappy

[ryobi]

The mothers polish if used a couple of times gives the lenses a clear coat which prevents deterioration and is still quite clear after a couple of months. I suspect that regular reapplication may be required but it seems to work a lot better than conventional polish, a lot clearer too.
