It may be a dumb suggestion......can the headlamp unit be popped open and the refector cleaned/polished?

Only asking as some whilae ago, I popped open a unit from my 350z to mess about with some LEDs. Ended up baking it in the oven to soften the glue and then just pulled it apart; quite easy really!

thanks for suggestion i was thinking of doing that but in the haynes manual it says not to touch the reflector, but like you said ive got nothing to loose if it works i could save some money, thank again for your input ged
