Milky fog lights?

    I see this problem on a lot of saxo's, only noticed it today as I was painting my front grill. If I undo it all and take it apart and clean it up, is it likely just to milk up again? Is it better to just replace it?

    I would just smoke them both, but I do a lot of night driving, so if i do ever need to use them they would be awful...

    It's most likely tiny stone chips etc in the outside face of the lens. Wet sanding then polishing may restore them.

    This is a cheap solution for lens,whether they`re glass or plastic.

    No luck with this, seems that the milky side is inside the fog light...

    2 clips and the inner side pulls off apart. may aswell bin them and replace tbh.

    glass and light holder itself is 2 bits

    True considering how cheap they are.
