Question headlights?

I need to take the lens off of my headlights so that i can clean them up a little. Is there any safe way to take them off without breaking them and what type of adhesive would i use to put them back on with? just trying to save some money and not buy some new ones.

Re: headlights?

I think they will break if you take them apart. You could remove them and try dishwasher detergent and hot water. Remember they have to be completely dry or the bulb will break. Try a good exterior cleaning first.
You can buy new ones if desired.
Normally the inside is clean unless they have cracks.

Re: headlights?

I agree the lenses do not come apart. Try the buffing compound made for headlights

Re: headlights?

Is the bulb number the same as the existing bulb. I would check this first before going any further. It acts like this bulb is wired differently.
