my 96's headlight lens isnt clear. Its more like a smoked color...its not a cover either this is how it has been since it was new. I want to kno if there is a new cover that you can buy to make it CLEAR...so that my night driving visibiity may be increased.

does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah, but I drove the 'stang through a flooded street, and condensation clouded the lenses. I tried some 1500-2000 grit sandpaper , followed by some plastic cleaner. That helped some. I have taken the headlights off a couple times to see if I could remove the clear lens and get the condensation out, but no dice.

The replacement headlights are over $ 200, even on e-bag.

I used the amber turn signal bulbs in the clear corners, works fine.
