Taking Apart Headlight in a 99

Hey guys,

A friend of mine is asking me to take apart his headlight so we can clean it (he has alot of broken bulbs in there and alot of dust.)

Is there a writeup on how to do this for the 99?

Thanks!

np Igor...also make sure not to use Windex as I have heard it will dull the shiny silver surface.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

I don't knwo if the writeup says this, but I also heated it to put it back together, then replaced the clips and put it in for 2 more minutes.

Of course, I have still not installed them...
