How do you get the headlight covers off a jeep to clean the covers.?

There is a film that has built up on the inside of my 2001 jeep cherokee laredos headlights. I need to get inside to clean them out - any ideas?How do you get the headlight covers off a jeep to clean the covers.?They are a one peice part. You cannot %26quot;open%26quot; them up.How do you get the headlight covers off a jeep to clean the covers.?your 2001 is like my wife's grand cherokee. Its a one piece headlight assembly and the bulb locks into the back. Most of the time that haze you see is on the outside of the lens. You can go to a local auto parts store or Walmart and try some PlastX cleaner. It worked pretty well on the wife's headlights and dont be afraid to use it several times. You can also go to an auto supply store and get various grades of wet/dry sandpaper (start with 480 grit and then go lighter and lighter like, 1200, then 2400) Use the roughest paper first, and plenty of water, then use successively smoother grit until you get to the smoothest paper. You are actually just polishing the lenses so go light with the 480 grit or you will put deep scratches in the plastic lens. Try the PlastX first, as it does a good job and if you use it enough with enough elbow grease you will be surprised at how much it cleans them up. Good Luck!!How do you get the headlight covers off a jeep to clean the covers.?the film is on the outside...use comet and water and lots of elbow grease, thats what i did and it worked great.How do you get the headlight covers off a jeep to clean the covers.?I don't think that you can take them apart i think you need to just buy new headlightsHow do you get the headlight covers off a jeep to clean the covers.?hmm..i think mine is a 2 piece so you might be able to unclip the the 2 sections of the light...or not
