Taking the lens of a headlight to clean inside -->
Has anyone done this? (instructions on a 96 SE would be great!)
I think I saw Cheston's page and suggested to use a heat gun to loosen the edges of the glass from the plastic housing (after removing the metal clips) and work gently the glass from the rest of the assembly.
A little spider crawled inside the headlight (by the exhaust tubing at the top of the back) and made knit a cow-web and is (of course) driving me crazy.
Also I need to clean the reflective part of the assembly, it has some oil looking aura inside that gives it a bluish rainbow reflection.
Hey guys, has any of you ever though in removing that tube like black protector around the buld? (in the 96- versions) It seems that the bulb will be able to irradiate in a wider pattern than it is allowed without affecting the reflectant pattern from the back of the headligh.

Cleaning out the inside of the headlamp >>
is a good idea...just make sure you don't leave too much dust inside from the cleaning cloth.
I would not remove the shield tube around the bulb. This part aids in giving a better beam pattern.
