Foggy headlight help!!!!!!!

Can anybody please tell me or help me find a permanent way to unfog these headlights and keep them that way????!!!! I have used a couple store bought products (with the white abrasive liquid and the sander) but that only seems to works for a couple months before they are right back to ugly fog again. I don't want to spend 1000$ for USED headlights. $1000 USED is the key word. That's a lot of money. I just want some opinions and/or some solutions on this problem. The car is mint and I just dropped it with fortune auto coils and she looks so damn good but these headlights are KILLING the whole look. THANKS

You have to spray a few coats of clear coat after you sand or it'll fog up again.

search for opticoat headlight sealant/coating. Phil at deatailersdomain carries it I believe.

Sand your headlights again, get yourself some polish and do it by hand or machine if you have it and then seal it with the opticoat. They will look brand new and last for a long time.

Another alternative would be finding some internally defective (broken) headlights that you can swap the external housings from. I did that to mine, and only spent $40

This is a great idea, it never crossed my mind. But i don't see many broken headlights being sold around. How did you find yours?
