thanks for the advice! i was looking at the housing again and when i removed the headlight, there was access to the inside of the clear plastic! so i bought a scrubber and tried to scrub off the film that was obstructing the light from passing... even put some dishwashing soap in there... but the film was still there. the weird thing was that when i front part of the clear plastic got wet, it was totally transparent, clear, like i was intending to do when i tried to scrub it. but when you wipe a paper towel to dry off the front, it became opaque again...
i'm thinking that there might have been a clear coating that helped the clear plastic become more translucent?? has anyone ever heard of anything like that before?
