    hazy?

    that sounds like it had a bulb go bad and that icky milky stuff got on the lens.


    can you fashion a long cotton swab and try to see if alcohol will remove it?

    it must be a glass lens yes?

                Yes, the headlamp lense will get a dirty film on the inside. Take out the bulb (don't touch the glass since oils can damage it), spray some windex inside the headlamp and then stuff some paper towel inside and move them around using a soft stick of some sort. Easy job.
