so has anyone heard of putting alkaseltzer in your headlights to get the fogginess out of them?

Nope lol.... You can use compound and buff them. It won't take out all of the yellow but it will make them look better.

I think baking soda will work. It's mostly the same thing as Alka Seltzer. But be careful of those as they might scratch the lenses. Rubbing compound will probably work better though.

On my husband's car I bought some lens wax and he used that and then buffed it out and it worked great.

Definitely use Primetimes suggestion and buff the lens to see if that works as this will fix the problem of oxidation on the lense for older cars. Sometimes lenses will fog up from the inside if they arent sealed well - if this is your problem you can either pull the light assembly out and try to reseal using a stong clear cauling or bead of sealant or you will need to replace the assembly.

You can also take silica...you know that stuff that comes in pill bottles and says do not eat...it will remove all moisture...and just put a few grains in each one.

The next day you will be surprised at the difference and the grains are so small you will not see them. But be sure to wash your hands after handling it and do not touch your eyes or you will be going to the hospital because it burns like hell!!!

This what happened to my Interga, and is probably what's going on with your car. I was just too lazy to pull the lights and clean them. Every time it rained though the lights looked aweome.
