Head Lights on 200SX

Hey my 200SX has some really foggy front lights and it reduces the projection significantly. I was wondering if anyone else has trouble taking the lens off. Do you just have to take the 4 metal clips off then pull it off? Because if so mine will not come off. Please help. Any advice on cleaning or removal so i can clean it myself would be appreciated.

The headlamp on the B14 is a semi-sealed unit. the only opening is for the bulb.

FYI, you'd probably get better response if you don't post a headlight question in the engine section of the forum. Search the B14 forum, and maybe the cosmetic forum, to see what you can do about your headlight problem.

not sure on the specifics but you take the metal clips off, preheat the oven to............175? (does this sound right to everyone?) for about 10 minutes then pull it out and pull it apart.

there's a compound you can buy at auto zone that will clear them up. and if that doesn't do it, new lenses?

Wetsanding and rubbing & polishing compound will do the trick. 1k, 1.5k, then 2k grit. You could probably get away with 1k then 2k grit.

you can buy new jdm headlamps for 200 bux. they are clear and will give a better looking and brighter light from the lamps. or for about 75 bux each lamp for usdm ones.
