I think you can take the housing apart and pop it out. That involves heating and all sorts of stuff. I don't know the exact process but I'm sure you can find it if you look around here and/or google.

I think jut buying a set of clear headlights would be the best way to go, check eBay.

You could also do a 99-00 front end swap but that gets pricey. And no, the 99-00 headlights aren't a direct swap.

take your headlight out. get a blowdryer heat up the sealant, pry it apart with a butter knife, take out the yellow stripe thingy. get some clear window caulk, put your headlight back together.

when i painted my headlights I did the blowdryer process, that is, to use the blow dryer to soften the sealant and carefully popping the lense






sorry for the threadjack
