I don't know what they're like on a Camaro, but when I had my 92 Bird, they'd get really foggy, so I took some plastic polish (not sure which brand) and used that a couple times. Shined them right up, looking new again. Might want to try that.

The lenses can be taken apart by removing the clips, heating them in an oven, and seperating them. Do a search and you should be able to find a walkthrough.

My lenses are still very clear and clean but i can recommend sylvania blue/white lights,I love to drive highspeed at night and the factory bulbs weren't cutting it, I changed them to these bulbs and it's like night and day, i hardly use my high beams anymore as a matter of fact i get the taller trucks flashing me because they think my high beams are on, I got mine at sears, got a discount.
