Default Removing Headlight Lens

The headlight lens on my 2005 S-Type are fogged on the INSIDE. Are these lens removable? I would like to disassemble these and polish the inside of the lens.

Welcome to the forum, Hornet.

Then you'll be able to download the manuals, view the attachments and all such like.


Now on to your question...the proper answer is "no" but all things are possible:

Well welcome to the forum Hornet. You might want to go to the new member area and properly introduce yourself per forum protocol.


Anyways here is a DIY that will show you the procedure for removing the front fascia to access the headlamp assemblies for removal:

Now you will have to do a bit of searching to find the exact thread on separating the lens from headlamp assembly, which is possible. I think that fellow member "aholbro1" has the exact post with pics on the baking technique.

hehe. Thanks Rick, he'll need the bumper how-to as well...can't remember if I linked to it mine or not, though I do recall referencing it an giving you props.

Just completed a two-week radiator change on the wife's 05; may try to post a few pics of the trouble-spot of radiator outlet and a/c discharge line.
