hI, i'm taking out headlight unit(drivers side) right now. I found the screw on top but I can't find the other one.
can you tell me where is located if you remember? I feel i'm stupid...thanks for help

The Ikon

There's one screw on top of the light in the engine bay...

There's 2 nuts inside the fender wheel once you pull the it back. Get a flash light and look inside the FW you will see the TWO goldish color nuts. the are on only about 2 inches apart verticle to each other in the light housing.. Use the 10 mm socket w/extension and it's as easy as 123.

thanks for reply, Ikon.
so there's 2 nuts inside the fender wheel right, does it mean I have to remove my front wheel?
sorry I'm getting confused

Thanks again.

The Ikon

No, just turn the wheels sharp to the inside. NO JACKS, NO NOTHING...

Taka

Nice, Ikon, Finally I found them, the two screws... it was under the fender
BUT, my tool was too big. it did go through the fender but I couldn't turn it, no space.
I'll look for better tool at home depot . .
btw, I sprayed Plexus on outside the headlight, and cleaned up. It's much better and clear.
I'm not sure if I need to do inside also. I kinda wanna avoid the pain.
Thanks, Ikon.

P.S have you done clean up High beam light?

The Ikon

Get an 4" inch extension... If you have no leaks/condensation. I would just polish the exterior and not take it apart...

I use the liquid/paste polish in the bottle every 2 weeks and the lens are brilliant!

I'm trying to find that inner fender cover?

is it in the wheel well? or am i missing something?

my headlights are also foggy too and i need to clean them before this weekend

Taka

hey bean, I got confused when i did that ,
When you turn the wheels sharp to the inside, you can reach the fender cover by the tire area.
there are some small screws so you have to take them off first.
Once you pull the cover, you'll see 2 x 10 mm which is connecting the headlight unit.
I'm having difficult time to unscrew them because it's really tight, my electric screw driver didn't work..(****ty one ) so I need to get extention and do by hand.
If I get digital camera, I'll take picture.

ok thats what i started to do but i wasn't sure

there are two pieces to the cover; should i take the bottom or top one out? or both?

Taka

I pulled 2 layers( i guess Top and bottom), and I could access 2 screws that connects head light units.
good luck

Taka

I got extention and i could remove headlight unit, I follow http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/headlights/index.html
and I was cleaning up....I use 2000grit sandpaper on outside the headlight glass, it's not doing anyjob. i see ...lots of scratch...it's not clear at all, it's white :eek: hmmm i'm thinking to get Novus heavy scratch remover to see if it does any better job.
any idea? I think I did something wrong....

The Ikon

:eek: I ONLY used Blue Corral "plexiglass polish/cleaner"... When using ANY sand paper on anything it depends on the quality of the paper, PRESSURE used on object, and actual finess of the sand paper... I reconmend only plexiglass cleaner. I hope the polish buff those scratches out . I'm sure it will.

Taka

I failed...
It was rainning last night and I see moisture inside lenz. awwww scratch on lenz and moisture inside..I want crystal clear headlight.
should I change just plastic cover for headlight? any idea how much it costs?
