Default Bugeye headlights
Mine are filthy on the inside, is there a way to take them apart and clean them?

You have to put them in the oven to heat up the sealant & separate the lens from the body.

That's what I did when I painted the insides of mine.

Maybe it's easier to buy new ones? I bet they're expensive

Oh I now see you're selling your old ones, lol - do they look totally standard? As I don't want anything which looks different :-)
