        Well wait, those are the stock pods, right?? so plastic polish or surface refinishing chemicals won't do jack to glass which those threads refer to the plastic lense reconditioning methods the most. George, seeing how it's raining in that pic, you have condensation built up on the insides. If they are plastic then those methods will work otherwise you'll probably want to pull apart the headlights, let them all dry out and such, clean them up a bit, and reseal the lense to the fixture assembly.

        edit--Search the DIY thread for the blackhousing info, if you want pics as instructions etc

                Did you crack them open to paint the insides black or did they come painted?

                If they have been cracked open then i'd just get new ones, I tried to save a pair of mine but the crap had gotten on the inside of the light and basiclly ruined the lense. Besides that I have no idea how to save glass headlights.

                        You can put transmission fluid on them and it will clear them up for until you wash the car... but the downside is that it will make the fogging up worse.

                            You need to open them again, dry every surface, with a blow dryer, on low, or some source of moving air. Then towel dry every surface. Maybe even set them in the oven a few minutes to heat dry. Then towel dry them one last time and re-seal them. This time using plenty of sealant.

                            If that doesnt work, and the haze is in fact on the outside, then the best you can do is to use Josh's above posted link, but that only works for so long.

                            They're OEM 2pcs. You can find them online for fairly cheap.
