Lightbulb Cleaned Euro Light Lenses (Pics)

Ever since installing the euro headlamp units just over 2 years ago, the lenses had what looked like a hazy film on the inside of them. Well, I finally got around to pulling the lenses and cleaned them. If others have this issue, it's a very simple project. I believe the results are dramatic.

Simply pull the two top retaining clips and two side clips (one on each side). I removed the screw from the inside part of the valance panel beneath the headlamp and pulled the panel out slightly. I then unscrewed the big wheel nut that holds the side marker enough so the side marker could be pulled out and to the side. The lens would now pull away from the headlamp unit itself enough for me to reach inside and clean with some Griot's window cleaner and lint free wipes.

The first pic is "before", the second and third pics are "after".
