headlights
I have the stockers on the 230 but I want to remove the lens and clean them out since awhile ago i went to through a deep puddle(water covered the hood of car
) and it got in the lenses and created a condensation look to them. The car is fine and nothing happened to it(I've had it inspected twice to make sure) but now the headlights look like theres some very small dry waterdrops on it when theyre really perfectly clean. Its annoying and I know its inside the lens.
Is there anyway to remove the lense to be cleaned and then snap them back in?
Thanks guys

throw in oven 220 degrees for 10 to 20 min... however long it takes for the glue to soften up and pry lens off slowly. make sure you put towel or something underneath so it doesnt touch the metal

nope. i have done this several times with different lights. just gotta make sure that if you put it in the oven that none of the plastic touches any of the metal inside the oven. There are some DIY's out there on headlight lens removal. I cant seem to find the bookmark i had on it but im sure if you google it you will find plenty. its basically the same for every headlight minus some screws or something of the sort.
