Not sure if you can take those out, i think the light is generally one piece and you need replacement light.

If you are lucky and the clouding is on the inside face you can get a rag/cottrn wool rtc etc in through thr back without dismsntling and clesn it off. When i did mine (headlight was removed for ease) they were very cloudy but only on the inside face for some reason! . So easy to clean.if they are on the other side then you may need to remove front cover.see guide.if you go to the trouble of removing front cover then be 100% sure the adjusters are good (top mount) because whilst you are in there .! ,!

Sorry about the spelling! Ipad seems to change stuff willy nilly!.  Before i did my lights they were very poor with a non defined dull beam (hid's too) after cleaning the domes and polishing the outer plastic covers they are transformed so worth the effort.

Easiest way is to stick them in the oven on a low heat for 5minutes. This reactivates the adhesive, and you can gently pry the lens off. I put them back for another couple of minutes when I've refitted the lens to ensure that it's sealed.


Expect to find broken adjusters if you haven't already replaced them.

Right quick update. I managed to brake these down today i was shocked to find the reason for the cloudy look wasnt because the the projector lens was dirty it was due to firstly the angle you looked at it ,the second was the metal plate that blocks half the light thats sits between the bulb and projector. After a bit of googling it turns out its the light director for which country you are in.
