I was first going to try to polish out the lenses with the Mother's kit. But I found out that even though it does a good job, it's still not new & probably will need to be re-treated regularly from what I read. Then I came across the actual replacement assemblies that most auto parts stores carry for much less $ on Amazon. So, pay $20-25 for the restoration kit or about $45 shipped (for both, NOT ea.) for brand new headlamps WITH bulbs. Not much of a decision for me. Anyway I started this last weekend and could not figure out how I was going to get the bottom adjuster clip out so I had to stop. I though of drilling a hole on the side of if to create an access, which I'm not sure wouldn't work using the right size bit/holesaw. And I had read somewhere about leaving it, which I didn't want to do. But.... I found this video today and decided to help some others out and post what I found & what I decided to do. I will keep the new adjusters for back-ups and re-use the old ones since it's much too easy this way. I'll try to post up before & afters when I do it this weekend & part #'s. I also found the clips at O'Reilly's as I had pretty much accepted I would have to break the bottom ones to get them out. I am removing 1 battery at a time to gain access to the nuts which will keep the radio & other things from being cleared. Anyway check out this video of an F150. I did the same small screwdriver trick, but I like the coat hanger idea and will do it as well. And it's easier to me to use my cordless in place of dragging out the air tools ( I have a 1/4" adapter).:thumbsup:

Thanks! I do plan to replace mine, although Mother's or any glass cleaning kit would help appearances it would not fix the moisture and gunk issue on the inside of the lens. (south Louisiana weather here). I am thinking to actually invest a bit more and upgrade to projection or led's if I can. Some nights I can barely see the road and I get in my wife's '06 Civic Hybrid and damn, I can see the whole damn neighborhood. LOL
