Condensation in headlights

Hi all, both front headlights are very hazey and have bits of condensation in them, is there any way of cleaning these rather than replacing them?

best and fast way to get rid of them is after driving the car with headlights on, more than half an hour to heat the capsule of the headlight and after coming back home etc. leaving the lid of the headlight from back open.. its easy to open and close.. in winter times it may require more 1-2 times more than summer but they ll vanish in the end.. you may even hear such a "puff" sound at the first time you open the lid if there re quite a lot of pressure difference because of the heat in headlight and outdoors..

If in "hazy" you mean the plastic is always hazy/cloudy/yellowed, there are products out there that you can use to get that plastic back to it's original clear state, or pretty darn close.
