Is there a way to clean the lens of headlights from the inside
I have these small dark spots that appear to be dust stuck inside the lens of the headlights, im sure something that coukd be removed by simply wiping with cotton. Is there a way to do this? When we remove the rear cover of the lens will we have access to the inside of the lens?
[QUOTE=oadams;3641655]I have the same thing. Is there a way to replace them as well?[/QUOTE
Replace them is easy. Just go to the dealer and pay about $900-$1100 for one.
That's an EXPENSIVE "cleaning" though.
They literally pop right out if you go in through the trunk.

I don't believe there is. Call a dismantler, look on Ebay and Craigslist in your area for used replacements. Junk yards in your area can do a national search if you're having trouble. The same sources we've had for decades really. Find used ones or buy new ones.
You can use two strong small magnets wrapped in non-abrasive fabric. Remove the assembly and remove the bulbs. Insert one of the magnets through the bulb opening and use the other magnet to wipe off the condensation watermarks from the outside. Some windex helps. Dump out or shake out the internal magnet. Reassemble. There is a service called drheadlight that will do it for you. If you google "internal headlight cleaning" several other options come up including a baking soda solution, or inserting a rag and moving it around with a screwdriver.
With some other cars people would paint portions of the inside of the headlight another color or retrofit with reflectors from a different model. The process included baking the headlight on low heat in the oven to soften the glue, and then splitting the light. Seemed aggressive but many had positive results.
Not sure I have the courage to try on a p-car though.
