Default Headlights

I have a 2001 mustang gt my stock headlights are fogged up and nasty looking. Any suggestions on where to get new headlighs that do not fog up? or how to clean them so they look brand new?

i could. and thats deff your choice. Spend 1hr tops todo the whole process and spend maybe 35 dollars vs. buying OEM styled aftermarted headlights for bout 200 bones. But if you so decide that route, the websites sponsers will have what your looking for. AmericanMuscle.com is a personal favorite of mine.

if you wanna keep em from being fogged up, after every wash or so, follow up with some scratch x and rub it into the headlights, also make sure if you don't wash it, to atleast keep em clean. before installation of these reseal them with silicon to keep it from fogging up.

I thought that nasty crap was on the inside? So if you just wash your car it should keep them nice?

washing your car cleans the film of dirt off of it, but following it up witch scratch x removes the small little chips that will begin to form and trap more crap in it. also make sure you dry them properly, water spots also contribute to the haze.
