Only use sope and water on your lights.

Just go to wal-mart and get a kit to buff hazy headlamps just make sure what you get also has a UV protection built in to it.

Water on the inside yep thats a leaker. But just so ya know there is a vent hole or two on the bach side of the lamp just so ya know.

Look on the bright side if you had a Dodge your lamps WILL turn white because they do not pay for the UV protection just look around at any 4 year old dodge.
So should I take it apart as suggested earlier and use the polish and other stuff on it as well?
