Aren't they already clear? Do you mean the lense itself? That's a no go for sure. Can't be done unless you swapped it with something custom.

I think I remember someone saying that the only way to clear them was swap them for some civic lights or I think they said a older GTO???? Not sure on that one.....

actually... depending on how much crap you got on them, there is a kit for about $20 at wally world that cleans your headlights. it has special sand paper and chemicals with it and it actually works better then anything i've tried

"5 Minute Optical Polish"
It includes 6 repair pads. I used it on my emergency lights and it works good, it took years of yellowing off my clear lenses.

I bought the 5 minute optical polish last week at wal mart and it didnt do crap for my headlights. I'm going to try this permatex stuff that everyone on here keeps talking about tomorrow. On a side note the 5 minute optical polish worked great for shining up/polishing my tailpipes.:)

Did you soak the pad or just get it damp?
I used a spray bottle and just got the lenses wet enough to turn the cleaner to a lite paste. If you use too much water with this it doesn't seem to work as good.
