Replacing Headlights

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.

Re: Replacing Headlights

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.
Thanks.

Re: Replacing Headlights

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

Re: Replacing Headlights

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