Im trying to remove the headlights in my 92 190 to clean the inside of them. How do they come out ? Anyone have pictures ?

the lenses or the entire unit itself???

Enough to clean the inside of the lens.

there are two 8 or 10 mm bolts (i forget which) on the top and one between the headlight and the bumper (you'll have to remove the trim strip to see this and you'll need a long extension for your ratchet)

With those three removed it should just come out the front, you may need to remove the turn signal to aid in disconnecting the plug/wiring

The lenses them selves are held in by mettal clips. As I recall, I was able to pop them off with a small screw driver to clean out the lenses.

Without removing anything but the clips ???

No, you need to remove the headlamp assembly in order to access the clips.

Since the corner/marker lights attach to the head light assembly, you will need to remove it via taking off the white plastic knob that holds it.

Be VERY careful when resinstalling the side marker lights. They have tabs that slide into the sides of the headlights that can easily be broken with a simple shove when trying to seat them. Look carefully, you'll see them.

You didn't state if these are DOT spec or Euro spec lights, there is a slight difference. Euro spec lenses are held on by metal clips around the perimeter. DOT lights have the plastic headlight door which is held on by 6 plastic clips built into the door. Removing the door on the DOT lights will not get you inside the lens. The only way I can think to clean DOT lenses is to completely remove the assembly and wash out the headlight unit in the sink. Probably be bee-itch to dry and no idea what will happen to the reflective coating.
