Give this a try it'll prolly cost 10 bux. Heres what I tried today it took me about 20 mins total. I used soap and water and 2000 grit sand paper. Fold the sandpaper in half and put your hand flat against the headlight only sand in one direction. I repeat only sand in one direction. I sanded up and down standing in front of the car ( in other words front to back.) You can tell when its working because the sandpaper will start to glide and other areas will have rough spots. After I finished I used plast x and some elbow grease. I would try this first and see how it turns out. If it is still bad you may have to work your way up to 2000 from 1000-1500-2000. In the pictures the dark splotches on the lights are my bushes. As far as the rubber goes just replace it.

does anyone know where to get the rubber trim that goes around the headlights?

Probably have to go through a dealership or a junkyard for the seal ... I had the same issue but got a set of seals off an old pair of lights

good job bumping :yesway:

Yes, got to the stealership. I think you can get them online as well.

You could always go to your local lowes/home depot and get some rubber weather stripping. I have seen a set of 3g lights done like that and they looked pretty good.

hey btw man i bought "crystal view" a package for walmart to clean the plastic housing on the headlights, you can leave your headlights in, but i took em off my car and did everything in my house to give them a good scrub, and honestly i recommend taking them off cause you can damage the paint, and taking them off makes it easier to put the final coat of chemicals on the light. thats what i recommend, just google it, the stuff's legit :ndance:
