Are you headlights fogged inside with condensation or is it more that "worn out" hazy look?

For condensation one you have to take apart the headlights and clean inside etc if you want then reseal properly

For worn out look you could try polishing the headlights and then apply wax on (well that's what I'm going to try on my Jazz!)

You can also check out the mightycarmods team on how to do it!



For HIDs I say not worth getting if you have the standard model. Bit illegal and quality control from the eBay ones aren't that great. Spend some money on quality bulbs like those vision plus ones (I think that's what they are called) They might not look "cool" but they will help increase vision at night just a bit more and that's better than risking your life and other people's life.

If you still must replace HIDS search these forums for a guide. Really simple to do! People do it alot with their Civics so I'm sure it's a simple case of comparing the Euro with the Civic.

Try meguiars plastic cleaner in a small white bottle...does the trick! In regards to HIDs i would get an auto electrician to install the HIDs. Dont forget you have to a Euro Luxury front bumper with the headlight washers to make it legal. Personaly, i dont think its worth it but its ur money and car.

No problems =) My Celica was a PITA for condensation inside the headlight and hazziness on the outside of the headlight. To stop the condensation, remove your headlight from the car and apply a small continous bead of silicone around the join of the headlight.
