Same here, a previous bulb popped, and I'm having a terribly hard time removing the headlight.

you dont have to put it in an oven, my bad should of said there are other ways of doing it.

you can also rent(or buy) a heat gun and just heat up the head light and pull it apart by hand, its not as hard as it looks or sounds, just takes a lot of time, and you'll more than likely burn yourself.
and the headlights are just bolted in, might have a stupid little snap thingie holding it in too, but i cant remember.........real easy to take out though

OMG i can't believe this was actually thought up. This is one of the most funniest things that i have ever read. hahahaha

There are a couple of pics on my website (page 3) that might help on the process to remove the headlights. Reference pics, that's all.

1. take off your corner lamp
2. take off your front grill. there should be 3 clips for 95-96. use a flat screwdriver to help you pull it out.
3. there's 4 10mm bolts that is securing the headlight. use your eyes and common sense to identify it and just unscrew it.
4. take off your headlight.

If the lenses are dirty and foggy inside that may mean that you need new lenses. The build up is probably not dirt, it's probably from the heat of the bulb.
