Default Headlight Replacement

I have a "99 that has 175,000 on the clock and still ticking along.

Headlights have fogged on the inside. I bought replacements, but at first glance it looks as if the changeout may be complex. I am a compedent mechanic, and I am certain that I have all of the tools necessary, but don't want to break anything.

Can anyone help???

Thanks in advance

My experience is that the "fogging" and other stuff you see on the headlights may actually be on the outside, even though it looks otherwise. I got a bottle of headlight polish and another bottle of headlight sealer at Walmart. With a lot of elbow grease, they came nice and clear again.

Hi,

Been there, done that! Several times. They look perfect in the sunlight, but at night are milky--definately on the inside. I have replacements, just looking for some pointers so I don't break anything removing the old ones.

Thanks
