Thread: 97+ Lens out of headlight assembly

Sorry if this has posted before but I couldn't find anything that doesn't mention bulb replacements, or the melting the glue. This is a bit different.

My corners lens are fine and I replaced them but of course, the common problem is that the headlights themselves are fogged up and yellowed up- they're no good. I just have to replace the headlights. I took headlight assemblies from a junkyard. The corner lens were included and they were easy to take out, of course.

But I found that the housing themselves has melted out of shape and they don't fit so my question is this. Can I just use my old housing assembly since they fit better. But I can't understand how to remove the headlight lens out. It looks like there's a star screw [sorry, i don't know what it is] on top and a thick screw through it. It looks like it has no cap to unscrew. Is it possible? I just don't want to order headlights when I have plenty of corner lens or with corner lens included! Am I screwed?

Anyway, thank you in advance. I'd appreciate it!

Thank you so much! For some reason I didn't see them...
Thank you for pointing them out for me, I feel stupid. Next time, I'll make sure to look all over.

Today, I completed swapping the housing/capsule. Successful. All thanks to you, guys.

And to TLSheff, Sorry, I didn't explain clearly since I didn't know proper terms. The whole lamps themselves were fine. Just the black part assembly that hold the lamp in place were melted a bit, top and side. Hardly noticeable but somehow it made a huge difference in putting them into place properly. Anyway, really nice pictures and guide!
