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 (

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.
