Headlight Lens Disassembly
I have a slightly sun damaged headlight (passenger) and from the way it looks, the lens is able to come off and i need to get to the inside to use some of the mothers plastic restorer i have.... Im unsure of how the heck i get the headlight out though! i see two tabs that i can get to and unscrew them... but its still mounted somewhere else and i cant find it! any help would be greatly appreciated... im a newbie i know lol.
thanks a bunch guys

yeah i also saw another thread somewhere on this forum about one member who took his off and painted the inside and that helped. i was reading along and then read "then put in oven and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes" and i was like ohhhh..... of course i chuckled a little bit too hehe

you may not need to take out the head lights... you might need to wet-sand the exterior. search for a diy write up on wet-sanding headlights, it helps restore most peoples headlights
