    Hey everyone I'm new here and I have a question. Does anyone know how to get rid of the fogging on the Tacoma's headlights? My truck is three years old know and the headlights have a layer of haze.

    I use this. Works well and have no complaints. Just use some blue painters tape to cover the paint around the light so you don't hurt the clear coat.

    My friends and I all pitched in and bought Meguiar's 2-Step Headlight Restoration Kit.

    The last picture is before I put the UV protection stuff on it. Wet sanded and used the cutting compound with the drill buffer. It looks so much better.
