haven't look at it too closely but after removing the headlights, the lens should be held on by small metal clips. just pop them off with a screwdriver and then reassemble. are you cleaning the lens or something?

You can't take the clear lense cover it is stuck on by a very strong goo which i while ago someone wrote up some instructions on how to get them off but it isnt worth the effort in involves a oven to heat them up and then getting the goo off etc, then you'd have to re-seal them with silicon or something that will keep it in place and not let water get in.

Have a little search on the forums i remember heaps of threads about cleaning the outside of them, about pulling them apart and i beleive someone mentioned a company some time ago that actually clean them or do some kind of exchange program with headlights no idea where that thread is or was from but it was mentioned some time ago. Happy searching...i'll have a little search myself and see if i can find anything helpfull.

is there "goo"? hehe, i guess in that case if you have access to a heat gun it'll be easier than usin an oven?!

yah a heat gun may work but i have never tryed it. Might be good for small sections o fhte headlight but it all depends how the "goo" easy to get off when its soft, it might also be abit of stuffing around doing a section buy section of the headlight while keeping the rest hot.

I am looking at taking the Lenses off my 33, as behind them u have 2 semi sealed rectangular beams, its a great idea and the result will be neat and original. Some R32's have done it and they look tough, all u would need to do is remove the lenses but don't discard, clean up the area even spray some paint to freshen up the area, then put a clear protective film over the beams, and your laughing.
