Default Headlights

I noticed that on my headlights, the inside has a film and is really cloudy. It isnt the whole headlight but is getting close. I was told that they are sealed and I cant clean them out so I was wondering.....does someone else have a set of stock headlights that they are looking to get rid of for an 02 Dodge Ram or does anyone have some advice to clean mine up??? I would like to get some blacked out ones but dont quite have that kind of mine right now.....Any help would be great...Thanks!

Ive seen lots of sets on CL for sale. But you van take them off and put them in the oven for a bit so you can open them up and they use something like Meguiar’s headlight restoration kit. Ive seen them at Walmart.

If your sure its on the inside there is a diy on painting headlights that will explain how to put them in the oven to get them apart and while you got them apart you might want to paint them.

The black ones are anywhere from 70-130. I'd let my stockers go for $50 probably

they aren't hard to take apart. just take your time. stick them in the oven at 250F for 5 minutes. take them out, pop up the clips and pry the lens off. if the glue cools off and won't let it apart, stick it back in the oven.
