Re: How-to: Clean the inside of your headlamp Assembly

Have you downloaded a service manual yet? They're under "Crossfire Documentation Collection"?

Service manual. Right. I thought maxichon wrote the guide and included "how to" for the headlamp assembly. Never mind. I'll ask a mechanic. I thought this site was worth a try.

Can't wait till he gets that bill.....

This site is good for those who need a helping hand, not for those who you want to hold your hand.

Are all Americans allergic to the phrase "I don't know". It does not indicate weakness.

I used "remove headlamp" in the search feature but found no answers. This sounds like a workable solution but a lot of holes exist in the description of the process. Maxcichon also says to read post #17 which is addresses fluid characteristics. There does not appear to be a guide in the repair sections under body or electrical. Is there a reference to this proceedure somewhere because I'm pretty sure he had to remove the assembly and this would or should be part of the description of "how to" clean the inside of the headlamp. Just sayin !
Thanks.

The title of the thread is How-to: Clean the .......
Not How-to take your headlight out and clean it.
Seems the title fits the post content to me.
Just sayin.

Re: How-to: Clean the inside of your headlamp Assembly

Hello team: I'm in SoCal, Laguna Hills, and I don't honestly think I can do this myself (or that I want to). Can you recommend anyone who can help with this, locally? It really does detract from an otherwise nice car that I LOVE. Thank you!
