The inside of my headlight lenses are oxidized and makes for very dim headlights. I was wondering if I could remove the lens in order to clean them. I can't find lenses for sale online, so I'm not sure if they're removable.

Lenses do come off put you have to heat them up via oven or heat gun... Its takes time once off you can clean the inside of the lense.

I have the problem where the outside of the lense is nice clear and clean but the inside needs to be wiped down also

Good luck getting the assemblies out, you'll have to remove the the bumper, Windshield wiper bladder and pump assembly on the passenger side and the cold air return assembly on the drivers side to get to the last two bolts that hold the HID assembly to the headlight (two bolts).

yeah.. are you sure it's the inside


just get new headlights, it'd be much easier.

There's one here:https://acurazine.com/forums/car-par...4-06-a-944954/

I've removed my headlight assemblies about 8 times now and never ran into that much trouble. The first time is a pain figuring out where all the bolts are to remove the bumper and the assemblies themselves.

But I'm not sure I would open them up myself, if you are set on fixing your current headlights have someone experienced do it.

So - the headlights do come apart. However, none of the components are sold separately, with the exception of the turn signal diffuser, other than that you have to buy the headlights as a whole unit, unless you know someone who has back up supplies as a headlight modding guru. It is not impossible to do the diy, however, if you not confident in mechanical abilites, and patient with small pieces - then reaching out to those who are more experienced will help you out a great deal. Bruce O'shack (endlessrpm) and Ross Beckner (aroracustoms) are the only guys I would trust my headlight too. I did mine on my own here are some shots just to show you how many pieces there are -

-this is after i painted all the parts - i blacked my housing out, and painted the drl/d2s bezel and the chrome turn signal strip purple, and have smoked turn signal diffusers...

-finished product - i also took the time to upgrade the d2s lens from the stock fresnel lens to a clear ZKW-r lens - much better light distribution and better light cut off..

Sorry, that may have above and beyond your initial question lol - just trying to do some elaboration - but if you're not looking to get the lights modded I would just get a replacement set, easy enough from part outs and ebay etc...however Bruce and Ross can mod you existing lights, clear up and seal the lenses and you're all set....just depends on the route you want to take and how much time you're looking for a turn around...
