is not a cover, if it feels rough outside, the you have a car that has been driven a lot, specially in the southwest, tx area, and if they feel smooth outside yet they are foggy as with droplets, you got condensation build up... either one is fixable with a lot of patience and elbow grease, if you did a search, you should've found lots of info on how to clean them.. hope this helps..

linux it's not a cover? it's the part where the blue light is coming out of in your sig. I thought that was a cover.. Can't i just buy another one and replace it? It seems so dirty.

oh nononono, the headlight is a two piece assembled unit, the front is kinda like a cover but it's attached to the rear with sealing silicone. If you did a search, you might've found instructions on how to open them up, clean the front cover, if you wanna call it like that, and put it back together and look almost brand new. Some ppl even paint the housing black and it look bad a$$ on a black car..

go to this first link, and it shows you how to clean a headlight with a dirty/rough surface but NOT condensation inside
http://www.pbase.com/xavier/root
and here is one from a supra on how to take them apart to clean condensation in the inside, <btw supra and sc headlights are very similar, so the procedure is ABOUT the same> keep searching and you will find the specific instructions for the SC, but they are pretty much the same steps..

icic thanks for the info but that part that is discolored looks A LOT better than the one i saw. The one i saw is so white that i'm amazed that light comes through it. Dam it i thought it was something simple like just taking off the cover and replacing it with a new one. thanks a lot for the help though. time for me to go read up on the links u gave me.
