I read in here somewhere about those cloudy headlights we have and there's nothing you can do about it. but I saw in the gallery under show cars the blue mx-3 has maybe glass ones where can I get those and how much are they?

this is an appearence question, not a performance/technical question. You will get better answers if you post there.

Actually i took it upon myself to find a cure for this problem, I experienced the nasty/yellow headlights syndrome myself. Heres what you do. Get some NON-abrasive metal polish made for chrome or metal. I use some stuff called "Metal Magic" that I bougt from K-Mart. Even though it says metal, look for a product that also says "works on plastics too". Its basically just a wax for metal. My headlights are gorgeous now. be warned though, you will have to clean your headlights thoroughly first, and it will probably take at least 3 coats to get clear. I had excellent results and i hope you do too. look in the car-care department, and it comes in "flat" bottles about the size of a car-wax bottle. GOOD LUCK! :D

just use some type of plastic compound, buff it on your headlights and buff them out, and wala...you're done. if you want it to last longer, put a clearcoat on top...the glass headlights are $300 at your local mazda dealership.

I got some stuff at autozone that is called: "BLUE MAGIC - Plastic and Plexiglass cleaner". It works great, just like a liquid wax. I used it on ALL my lights, makes them look new.
