How do you remove the headlights?

Im trying to use an auto glym glass plishing kit and i cant polish the headlights while they're in the car, how do you take them out? I know someone out there has done this. If you know how to remove the whole assembly or just the glass part either would be great. Thanks for the help!

first of all, yes, you would need to remove the bumber to remove the headlights.

no, the lens are not removable (well, technically yes, but, you would have to remove the headlight from the car to remove the lens)

lastly, the lens are plastic... not glass... i would highly recommend not polishing it much as it will thin out the plastic...

since the space in htere is quite tight, i would suggest trying some compressed air to blow the "bug" out of the headlight, or, out of sight.

otherwise, if it is REALLY "BUGGING" you (lol), then, remove the headlight, and shake it until the bug comes out...
