Need to remove my headlight lens on a 95

[Hammerhead12]

What's the best way to get to the lens ? foggy inside. Does the whole assembly come out like it seems ? can't find the bolt or ***** on the bottom side to get it out.

Yo HH,

If no moisture is inside;

"Sorry I didn't take any pictures *even though I do have a digital, did this while it was snowing and well...wanted to do it fast*

Years ago, I had an SHO with yellow headlights. My Bronco was showing signs of the onset of this common Ford headlight problem. So, I searched my memory and remembered how I fixed it last time.

Pick up a bottle of CLR

Bottle of 3M rubbing compound

Hairdryer

Distilled water

Remove headlights (on 93?-96) headlights, remove the top screws, (2) 7/16" bolts from the bottom and remove turn signal/park lamp unit. Now CAREFULLY remove the two phillips heads holding in the headlight and then turn back the adjusting for up/down until the headlight pops free. I REPEAT ...be CAREFUL when removing the two top screws. They strip easy. I had to dremel new flat heads into the top to get them back in.

Now, after you remove the headlight bulb (don't touch), pull the unit out ....

Now, go inside and swish about a 1/2 cup full of CLR inside the lens for about a minute. Rinse with hot water until it comes out clear. Now rinse once again with the distilled water to prevent spotting. Dry with hairdryer.

Rub down the outside of the lens with rubbing compound (took me 2 coats to get it nice and smooth). Replace. It made 100% difference on my truck. Good luck!"

Better than having a mechanic on duty ! When I was 20 I would have known to remove everything around the back of the lens to remove. Now that I'm old, I just want it off.

Thanks for the info and the link. Looks easy now all I need is time. Also thanks for the cleaning remedy. I can omly hope to offer someone some help in the future.

I'm still working on running the first tank of fuel through the 32 gal tank to see the milage. and deciding on what the new interior color should be other than Toupe on Toupe.

Thanks

HH
