make clear headlight lens??

hey TN, I have the wonderful problem of my headlight lens being foggy and well I'm wondering if you can turn the old I believe glass lens into clear ones with sanding on the inside and out?

or would it just be better to buy some clear ones?

.... he doesn't have a coupe.

ASAIK there are no real clear ones, but just restoring the lens should do the job pretty decently.

sanding the refractors.. wow after that your headlights would be worth as much as two candles mounted onto your bumper.

yea that's what I thinking of doing is sanding those, cause I've looked up clear headlights and found a set for $173 not including shipping, and I noticed that the 7th gen corolla has the same headlight design as my prizm and found a projector headlight for that car made from a tsx headlight or something, and I has also wondering were you can get HID kits for this car.

Most HID kits are universal plug-n-plays. As long as you get the HIGH/LOW and correct bulb size, it'll work.

ok so i got this really cool idea and well am kinda stuck, what i was thinking about doing is buying a projector headlight with angel eye kit for my car and then make a clear lens out of some other type of plastic or something, so i was wondering if plexy glass can handle the heat of the projector?
