I'm looking for part # MR485143 or MI2502105... basically I'm looking for the driver's side head light assembly (they're too foggy). I would really appreciate if anybody could point me in the right direction (if any) for a good deal on one (or both). By the way.., it's a 99 GS... Hell, I'll even go with the clear covers... Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the input... Actually I just want to repalce them 'cause they're not only foggy, they're scrathed and opaque... (some water drops that condenses or get trapped inside the head lamp)

start with 1500 grit sand paper and move up to 2000 grit. KEEP THE SANDPAPER WET! Once you are done it wouldn't hurt to spray them with a glossy clear coat because sanding them will take at least some of the factory protectant off of the lens. I just got done doing that with my headlights about 3 weeks ago and they look GREAT!
And as for the oven... make sure you take the bulbs out first as a precaution and also make sure the wires arent in contact with the grill in the oven or the sides of the oven because they will melt. Do about 6 minutes on 200 degrees and the lens should pop right off. When you go to put the lens back on, get all of that old ass glue out of there and get some silicone glue and seal the lenses back on with the metal clips. Let the glue cure for about 24 hours and you'll be good to go!

If you ever decide to get new headlights and stuff, I'll take the old ones off your hands (assuming they are 2GB) if they're a reasonable price and fix them up myself.
You just need time, water, and sandpaper.
