OK, update: So i cooked the lens and followed the instructions here:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ht-detail.html

However, as I took the headlight out of the oven, I saw this:


Is the lens burnt or does it just need to be cleaned?

225 degrees for 14 minutes, like how the info pages said. Do you think that the headlight is oxidized and needs to be wet-sanded?

Also, when you took your headlight out of the oven, was there a bunch of condensation on the outside of the lens, inside, and on the HID bulb?

Yes condensation all on the lens, but the HID bulb you should have removed.. So Idk if you mean the projector or what.

Probably just needs a wet sand
