Headlight Lens - Diesel Forum

My right headlight lens is getting pretty dull and fuzzy. How do I get it off to put in a new one? I can see the two screws holding the trim in place and tried to get it off but the trim won't come off.Thanks for the help.

Ok, thanks I'll try that. That would be alot easier than replacing it.

I've used rubbing compound and a buffing wheel with good results as well... just make sure you tape off any painted areas around it.

I have a pair of decent OEM headlights, I replaced with a set of aftermarket ones in the '95 I sold, if anyone needs one.

What grit paper would you use, I'm guessing finer the better, maybe 2000?

My pass side light is fuzzy also, driver side is fine, seems to be a common problem.

Also you can use fine paint polish, I did and worked OK. To change them are a PITA.
