Default headlights cleaning

Hi all,

I'd like to know how to remove the headlights cover in order to clean the inside of it (I'm talking about the plastic stuff that protects the lenses)...

(the pic is not of my car, mine is a black 92)
Thx for your help

if you are talking about the fog lamps, the first step is bumber removal. After that it is easy

good question.sounds like bad answers tho.not that it aint so,just that its a drag they dont come apart easy to clean cuz mine has some condensation lookin stuff at the edges.
i cleaned the lenses of my spotting scope pretty good by placing it in a plastic baggy,taping thevaccuum cleaner hose to it,putiing a good suction on it and then poking a small hole in the opposite end of the vaccuum hose.
(got the idea while vaccuum pacing some fish one day and watchiing the moisture pull out).
maybe we could use a small tube with vaccuum through the lamp socket and get em cleaned at least somewhat.
will check into that tommorrow-cleaning day scheduled :)
hey-what the hecks that square thing in the lower valance area of photo 1?
