It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

 ...well, I don't know about taking off the back...but, I have used a type of rubbing compound that can help the “yellowish” look that headlights acquire with age... ~snap -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

Glad to see you got them
I should of buffed the lenses a bit for you when I had them. I didn't even think about it, I just checked to see if they were broken and relabeled the box and shipped them out to you. You might want to wet sand them with a fine (2500 grit) sandpaper then buff them out with a some scratch remover/polish and a clean buffing wheel. That would really clean up the outside lense. for the inside, I wouldn't take them apart. Try spraying some cleaner inside and use something like  or this  to clean it out. Then make sure they are fully dry before installing the bulbs. BTW... priceless

Hey Lissa, you should be fine by taking the lense off... Boiler water and submerge it in the for around 15 mins and the will pry off... If you are a QUICK cleaner and just giving the rub down and all that on the inside you can put it back on and clamp it again without and problems. If the glue drys too quick for you though, any heating gun will work great... I had stuff in mine and cleaned them out no problem.

The yellowish or hazing effect should really only be on plastic lenses and these are glass --------------------  |
