Headlight lens - cleaning the inside
E430 1999 - I have noticed that the headlight lens tend to accumulate dust on the inside - giving the car an old used look. Any hints on how to access the inside of the headlight lens, as well as the inside lens of the driving lights in order to be able to clean out the inside?
I have been under the impression that on a 1999 W210 it would require removal of the front bumper.
I would be very grateful for any advice on getting at the inside surface of the headlights - preferably without removing the bumper.
Failing that - what would be the procedure for removing the front bumper - if required.
Thank you

On The Outside there are several products to clean plastic
The Front bumper is removed for model year 2000 to 2002
So Its a Easy job to remove the headlight on the 1999 W210
Use a heat gun to soften the sealer and lift off the lens.
Use a Good sealer to reseal the lens after its cleaned
