Save yourself the cash... this product works great! i have used it several times on my 22 year old trucks and it brings a nice shine back to the lenses...

headlights

Thanks for your reply but I tried the kit and it worked somewhat, but the inside is clouded over. I got both headlights for $45.00 on ebay with bulbs and free shipping I think the kit costs more, I dont remember but I returned it Thanks again. Southern hunter56

in that case you have to remove the entire headlight assembly by the bolts in the engine bay... once out you can disassemble the headlamp.

I just replaced my whole header panel thanks to a couple of wrecks. I can tell you there is no way to remove just the headlites themselves. There are 2 nuts inside down behind the battery tray and the vaccuum canisters on the other side. I found it easier to remove all the stuff in the way of getting a straight shot with a ratchet and socket.
Also underneathe the truck there are 2 bolts on eachside that hold the front of the fender skirts in place. If you take those bolts out you can bend the front of the fender skirts down out of the way and bungie them back to the spring or something suitable to hold them. This gives you easier access aswell to those nuts.
