If its inside you have to bake it open and clean it. Any exterior kit like the Mothers one only touches the outside

New headlights? Check sewell. the cheapest "fix" is to bake them on open like eyezack stated. time consuming but beats paying $100's for new lights.

Yeah, you'd have to bake them on a day when you're off from work like on the weekend so you don't end up driving around with one headlight. If you don't want to tackle the DIY project, you can always look in our Classified forums for mint condition, used headlights. It will still beat paying $695 per headlight from the dealership.

By polishing it duh. If its on the outside, it will be removed. If it isn't, then its on the inside lol. You can't polish the inside of a headlamp by polishing the outside right?

Have you figured out if its on the inside yet? If it is, then the videos I saw were no help at all. Again, if the stuff is INSIDE the headlight, you cannot polish the outside and expect it to be removed
