My wife is complaining about her headlights being too dim. They are all fogged up. I've tried to polish them, but I'm not happy with the results. I've found a couple places on the Internet that sells new ones, but I wonder if anyone here has resources? Thanks!

I found cheap sets of headlights (new) on ebay. It may be worth looking there.

Thank you! I should've thought of that, but all I did was google it.

Got a 2000 Grand am for the daughter and the headlights were all yellowed. Instead of polishing just bought a cheap pair off Ebay. Now although they are brighter, the light kind of throws everywhere, and there are what I would call grey patches (low light) in the pattern if shown on a white wall or the garage door. I guess better then what they were (yellowed) but you get what you pay for. Cheap is cheap.

Before you polished them - and you still may be able to do it - take an old toothbrush and a squirt of toothpaste and polish them that way. Yes, use toothpaste on them. In addition to toothpaste removing yellow from your teeth, it will also do the same thing to plastic headlights. It removes yellowing, smooths out the top surface, and can remove minor hazing. It works best on "reflector-style" housings and thus may not work the best on something like that generation Grand Am with the specially formed headlight housings, but still worth a go.
Then grab new headlight bulbs. Remember they should be replaced about every three years anyway as over time headlight bulbs lose their ability to illuminate to their full capacity.

An old trick is to clean them very well. Dawn dishwash and water works well. Let them dry then take your finger and rub some transmission fluid over the lens, wipe it down with a towel and enjoy the view. Needs to be redone occasionally, but it's effective and cheaper. I also found replacement headlamp assemblies at AutoAndArt.Com Also very cheap and they usually come with the bulb.
