Inspect for any cracks (you probably won't find any) and avoid the temptation to seal up the ventilation holes you should find with anything -- these lens assemblies have complex designs, and there are ventilation ducts. Yours might just be dirty. Don't drill any holes, either. Any rubber washers behind the light sockets can be removed, and you'll get enough ventilation to *probably* make the problem go away.
The bad news is your headlights are in *really bad shape*, and should be replaced with new units. The headlights on the 1st gen Intrepids are horrible when they work as designed; you don't want to run with them in degraded shape. That cloudyness is really having a bad impact on how well you can see at night, and there is no permanent fix other than replacing the assembly. You can try a junkyard, but most Intrepids of this vintage had the same problem. -- --Geoff MML Moderator/Admin/Occasional SAA '92 Acclaim; '98 Intrepid; '03 Grand Caravan Subscribe to the MML! http://mopar.tamu.edu/mailman/listinfo/mml Web: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dodge_intrepid> Subscribe: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Unsubscribe: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Moderator: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yahoo!
