It is a 1999 Dodge Caravan and it is the kind where you just change the bulb and not the whole lens, bulb, and all. They are very dull and its almost to the point where it is dangerous to drive. The only reason i havent stopped her or tried to fix them is be cause 98% of the time she is home well before dark.

The product you are looking for is called Crystal View CV Headlight Restorer/Defogger kit. Check out their customer testimonials and you will understand what I mean. You can find the kits right now at Wal-Mart in the automotive department and at Advance Auto Parts stores. They are not on the shelves at AutoZone yet. Don't be fooled by the others, they cost a little less, but they just don't last. This kit is easy to use, you don't need tools and it is guaranteed or your money back.
Their website has all the info you need: http://MyHeadlight.com

There maybe a couple of things going on. 1. There is a small crack in the lens itself which is letting in moister.
2. There is a crack in the housing of the head light.
3. You can solve this problem by removing the head light cleaning the lens and then spray the lens with the garden hose. If there is water in the housing then the crack is in the lens. If not then spray with the housing of the headlight. If there is water then you have either a bad gasket for the housing or the housing itself is cracked.
4. You can get replacements at almost any auto parts store.

Try some polishing compound and some elbow grease. Don't use anything mechaninal or you will burn the plastic lenses and destroy the head lights.
Replacing the headlights will cost you about $145 each + shipping. I use the link below for parts.
You may also be able to find some good used ones on eBay. You would be surprised on what parts are available there.

actually toothpaste works better than all over the counter products. you can put it on full strength for really dingy yellow headlights, or mix with a little water to make a thinner paste and just wash the lense with some elbow grease in circular motions. trust me this will work. the flouride and soaps along with the polishing compound in toothpaste restores the lenses to like new condition. you may have to do it two or 3 times to get it to look brand new but you see results in the first application

I have used Softscrub cleaner to cut the glaze off headlamp lenses but it sounds like yours are too far gone. Keystone, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc sells aftermarket lamps that won't break the bank. Fix this before your wife has to drive somewhere at night!

Go to your local parts store and you can buy headlight restorer kit that will have everything you need to clear them up. The only other alternative is to purchase new,used or aftermarket lights from a retailer.

I have found that toothpaste mixed with a little water cleans and shines the plastic lenses. Do it by hand with a soft clean cloth in circular motion.

At Autozone, they carry a product that polishes the lens and removes the oxidation. Works great. I use it on all 3 of my cars.
