headlight question

[sgt0704]

does the front lens come off of the headlight? if that makes sense. basically, it's really cloudy looking. and i tried sanding it down with some 400 and 800 grit, but still looks cloudy. was just trying to see what my options could be.:thinkin:

Just replace the whole thing. Every so many years down the road the plastic gets worn from weather and wax. It's about $200 for a new set. Ebay (http://search.ebay.com/camaro-headlamp_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentryp ageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfposZ32822QQfromZR10QQfso oZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQfyhiZ02QQfyloZ93QQmpp fZShowQ20ItemsQQmppfqyZcamaroQ20headlampQQsacatZQ2 d1QQsadisZ200QQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ2QQsbrftogZ1QQsof ocusZunknown) is an easy way to go.

To anwser your question the lens does come off. Put the headlight in the oven an get it warm an you should be able to pry the lens away from the housing. This is very tedious though if you go to fast or pry to hard you will crack the plastic housing. I doubt you will be able to help the lens even if you get it off likr the other guys said just by new ones.

best effect = buy new ones

but if you have the time i dont see why u shouldnt do it yourself, u'll never gett them looking like brand new

i tried renewing my old ones with 400 600 800 1200 grit paper but i got all that cloudy stuff leftover even after polishing it was still there, it looked way better than what it was because all the yellow was gone, but it still doesnt even compare to what it looks like now with my new ones in

yeah, i resanded them better, doens't look perfect. didn't turn out like my buddy's did on his honda, or as good as my tail lights on my 91 rs. but looks better than that crappy yellow. plus, i don't have the 200+ to put on headlights

My 99 has a little cloudiness to them and i just upgraded the bulbs to the silverstars, problem solved.
