Lens Removal, Euro Headlights

[Chuck Pierce]

I second Kneale on cleaning the reflectors. They are a very very very 
thin chrome plating on plastic and will come off when any cleaner is used.
I found someone to rechrome mine, not cheap. The lenses are available 
from Scott at SJM @ about $60 apiece.
