I am hoping to replace the cloudy headlights on my 1995 Grand Cherokee Limited with some nice shiny new ones.
I would greatly appreciate some detailed instructions on how to remove the old ones.
Thanks.

Blue magic polish and 8,000 grit sand paper on a buffer, make sure you keep moving the buffer and keep the surface very moist. It'll take about 20 mins and cost about $7.00 (if you have a buffer!)

Thanks for the replies. I have been polishing them for years but they have now yellowed and nothing will help that. I have new units ready to go in, but don't have a clue as to how to get the old units out. Need instructions from somebody, please.

acording to my haynes manual, theres an air bag warning in the headlight removal section on page 12-12, they say remove the negative cable from the battery , and wait 2 min for electrical capacitor discharge , on 1998 and earlier , remove the radiator grill,grasp lower edge of headlight , pull straight back to detach from lower adjustor pivots,grasp upper edge pull straight back to detach from upper pivots, disconect electrical, install is reverse order , hope that helps , am quoting from the book , but havn t done it on my car as yet

High speed polishing is much easier. Try my suggestion, you can always return the ones you bought.
