Cleaning 96' Headlight glass - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Has anyone ever removed & cleaned this type of headlight before ?

How the heck do I get this lense off =)

Or is it a better idea to try and clean it by just filling it with cleaner ?

do a search for "headlight" or just look back through either Tech or Chat topics for a discussion of cleaning the plastic lenses on a 95-96 s14.

As for removal - take out the corner lense, then unbolt the plastic HL assembly, take out lights, pull the grill and slide it out.

I don't think you'd want to remove the lens...If they get a little cloudy or yellowed, Meguiar's makes a clear plastic cleaner and polish.  After I used it on my headlights they were crystal clear.  I don't know how bad your headlights are, but that stuff should help.  And if you want, you could get the Eurospec glass headlights <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
