    A couple of my headlights are clouded on the inside. Does anyone know if they can be stripped down so I can get inside and clean them ? I don’t want to simply get new ones as I’m trying to keep parts as original to the car as possible

    possibly come off with some heat and carefull prying , ive had a lense fall off when running 100w bulbs due to the heat

    rather than risk damage you can use a clean cloth and coat hanger to drag it around inside , start off with a damp cloth then switch to a dry one , doesnt take long

    once of the car and bulbs out you have decent access to clean them out. swish water around the inside then use something thin and pokey with cloth tied to it to polish. take care not to damage the chrome, and if the chrome is peeling try to replace. outer mk2 hella lamps are still available
