Is it even possible/advisible to take apart the headlight housing? I'm pretty sure it's sealed to prevent water from getting into it. So if you do manage to take it apart, it'll be a b---- to get it back together properly.<P>Are you sure you need to clean the inside? Most people just get a plastic polisher for the outside, and they'll look like new.<P><P>------------------<BR>----<BR>Gary Mui ( gary.mui@sinnovations2.com )<BR>Sales Representative<BR>Streamline Innovations 2<BR>Vancouver, BC<BR>604.312.9588<BR><A HREF="http://www.sinnovations2.com" TARGET=_blank>www.sinnovations2.com </A><BR><A HREF="http://mx3slimvisors.2ya.com" TARGET=_blank>mx3slimvisors.2ya.com </A>

I've tried polishing my lights and it worked, except for my driverside light. I'm quite sure it's on the inside. No amount of polishing seems to get that one clean. I think I need to take a heat gun to it to take it apart but I'm not sure what I should use to re-seal it.
