I'm assuming that's a 90? If so, I'm afraid they are sealed my friend. No cover. You can remove the bulb elements and blow some compressed air in there. From your picture, those need to be sanded and buffed. As noted above, the detail section has awesome pictures of those that have done it, you won't believe your eyes.

Are you sure you can sand the glass headlights?
One other thing you can do, depends on whether the crud is inside or out, is to completely remove the whole assembly and wash them out with hot soapy water and a bottle brush at a kitchen sink.
Just make sure that they are completely dry before refitting. (looks like you have the weather for that). (experience from countless mud filled Landrover lights).
Can't remember ever seeing this problem over here on glass lights, wonder if it is climate related?

Yes, but practice on an old glass lamp from a scrap car first. Very very fine sanding with paste. (even better, if you are in an artsy area, see if you can find someone who works with glass and ask them to polish them up).

Thinking about it could be possible the climate has something to do with fogging up the headlights. I know it's a city cat from Long Island New York and has only been in Florida since 2008-2009. I was looking at the headlight glass with a flashlight and it looks to me the inside and the outside could use a good sanding and buffing. Do you know where I can find the instructions on removing the whole headlight from the car? Thanks again
