Default need help with fogged headlights

hey guys I have a 1995 Mitsubishi mirage (yeah I know HAN right) don't blame me the car was very cheap and in good condition. anyways the car was in an accident when I bought it and I bought the parts myself from the U Pick parts to save some money. anyways the car is running fine except that the headlights have that annoying fog on them. I tried using engine degreaser to take it off and it seem to work for a little bit, but it's still coming back. anyone have any advice on how to take that off. thanks.

P.S. I want a honda:wtc:mitsubishi's are too much trouble.
