Search on here for "Joey Mod" and see how to literally cook the headlight and open it up. And while you're at it, do the Joey Mod!

i know it looks like its on the inside but it probably isnt... try polishing it first.. the open it up.. but i have to warn you to blackout the headlights is a ***** atleast for me it was i have a 02 so maybe it was harder because of the age of the sealant..... it took forever to pry them apart...

Boy the cloudiness looks like its in the inside but I'll try to plastic polish the outer lense a little. I don't think I'll be trying to take the lense off ,as I don't need to black out the chrome and breaking the seal seems like it could lead to problems.
