What's up everyone.

I was wondering if any of you guys know how to get that hazy fogged up look out of the inside of the headlight housing. Kinda a simple question, but I'm sure some of you have had the same problem and have some advise.

Thanks in advance.

If it's under warranty, you can have the dealer replace it.

Nope, the warranty is up. But thanks for the thread.

I think I might go with the Black Projector Housing. Anyone know where I can get some besides ebay?

Invision Celica is selling them I believe. Check the for sale sections and PM him.

Are you sure it's on the inside? Mine looked that way but was actually the outside. Water sanded with 2000 grit and buffed. Looked like new.
Then I backed into it with my truck and had to buy the black ones still. :shrugs:

Whip out the dremel and open the housing and give it a good polishing

Yeah, I'm gonna just swap them for the Black Projectors. It will look sweet on a black celi w/ a carbon fiber hood....if anyone wants to buy the old ones, let me know...

not to steal the thread but a little story of when something like that happened to me was when I had condensation on the inside of the passenger side headlight housing... and after awhile it went away... it only did it the one time too, which was really strange... I thought I was going to have to take the bulb out and stick a blow dryer in it. :gap:

I know how to get it out... All you do is take off the black rubber seals from the back where the light bulb is, then you park your car for a few hours in the sun where the sun is hitting the front of you car and headlights.. and if there isn't enough sun then use a blow dryer.. the blow dryer takes a lot longer though.
