Question Clearing the corners?

Just got a TL-Type S and wondering is there any way to clear the corners on the headlights? Or do you have to buy a whole new housing? What to do???

btw, make sure you seal it good. because alot of people get condensation in their headlight after they cleared it.

I did mine and resealed them twice and now both of them occasionally get condensation..I'm getting aggravated...and I'll give it one more try..if not then I don't know...I might just call it quits and do something else...don't know exactly..Just wished the headlights stop fogging up..

bring it to a body shop... they'll likely do it for $100. the work done is promised so no worries if water gets in...

just a word of advise, watch them do it! the shop that did mine crack the innerside of my grill and just glued it back on... I didn't know until a year later... #$@#!
