Default Removing Headlight Lens

The headlight lens on my 2005 S-Type are fogged on the INSIDE. Are these lens removable? I would like to disassemble these and polish the inside of the lens.

Now on to your question...the proper answer is "no" but all things are possible:

Well welcome to the forum Hornet. You might want to go to the new member area and properly introduce yourself per forum protocol.


Anyways here is a DIY that will show you the procedure for removing the front fascia to access the headlamp assemblies for removal:

Now you will have to do a bit of searching to find the exact thread on separating the lens from headlamp assembly, which is possible. I think that fellow member "aholbro1" has the exact post with pics on the baking technique.

Just completed a two-week radiator change on the wife's 05; may try to post a few pics of the trouble-spot of radiator outlet and a/c discharge line.
