Yes, you can clean your headlight reflectors so they are no longer fogged up. Remove the front grille and all the lights from their mounts, Remove the bulbs (careful not to touch the class with your fingers....grease) and set them aside. With the reflectors facing down, pour a forth of a cup of 99% rubbing alcohol in the hole where the bulbs mounts. Slosh it around a little and then let sit. You are trying to get the alcohol to rinse over the entire reflective surface and the inside of the lens. Then pour the used alcohol out and repeat. I have done it 3 to 4 times and that seems enough. When you are done with this rinsing process let the reflectors face UP for a hour or so, letting the remaining alcohol evaporate. Be sure all liquid alcohol is gone before re-assembly of the bulbs. I also clean the rubber seal of the bulb and the mating surface of the reflector. Put is back together and the lights will be a little more white on Highway One...not so yellow.
