Can you?

In my infinite wisdom I decided to buy cheap led bulbs for my parking light, now it got loose on the connector and fell in the headlight itself. Can we take out the lens of the headlight assy? Also if you can, can you buy the lens mine is pretty fogged upp. Btw it.is a 03 halogen headlight

just take the headlight off the car and turn it upside down till it falls out, the lens are not replaceable, the proper way to fix them is to sand them down taking the protective layer off that has turned yellow from the sun with 800 grit sand paper then sanding with 1000, then 1500 then 2000 to take the scratches out, this will cause it to become really fog, then use rubbing compound to polish it back to clear, i like to use a wax over that then a sealer to keep it on, other alternative is to buy another set or like another member did is buy depo headlights take the lens off those, put your OEM ones in the oven to heat the black glue that seals them from water and pull them apart and put the depot lens on your OEM lights with new sealant/glue, and reinstall, your choice. but the depot ones will fog with time anyway. goodluck
