New owner of a 2000 Passat. The headlights are dingy on the inside and I would like to be able to clean them. How I can get to the inside of the headlight assembly? Can't stand the look of them like this!

I have the front rad pulled out and there is plenty of room to work. How do I get off the viscous fan assembly. I removed the fan's 3-4 allen bolts, I now need to get the assembly out. I also removed one of the long allen bolts in the actual assembly. I have the fan ribbed pulley secured with an old serp belt and grip wrench. I am trying to losen the large nut behind he fan assembly. I have attached a photo to point of reference. I may have a manual next week yhat may explain all this.
I have always seemed to have a moderate amount of water condensation on the glass inside the driver's side headlight. How does it get started and how do I rid myself of this small problem?
View 6 RepliesI can see where there is a 1/4 inch post that if turned will push the assembly out, but i can only get it to come out about 1 inch. Is there something else that has to be released ?
View 2 RepliesMy headlights suffered from the dreaded condensation problem. I brought them to Lexus after getting the warranty enhancement paperwork and had them replaced. Shortly after the passenger side wheel cover was ripped off after getting caught on some ice during a storm. It was very shortly after that that condensation begin appearing in my passenger side headlight.
At that point I was unaware that the wheel well cover had been ripped off. I brought it back to Lexus to have it looked at since I only had the headlight replaced a few weeks before. I was told it would be at a cost of $2,500 to replace with an additional $400 for the wheel well cover. Needless to say, I did not have the work done that day. While I was waiting them for them to finish the paperwork I bought the wheel well cover for $50 online but since then I've had difficulty locating the headlight.
I brought it to my mechanic and he was unable to find the headlight as well. I have a 2009 rx350 with HID AFS headlights. I have looked on ebay, Amazon and just through the internet to see what I could find but I'm finding only halogen headlights. Most of what I'm seeing on eBay are for non-adaptive lights that are damaged.

View 4 RepliesSeveral weeks ago someone backed into my '97 RAV4 in a parking lot. Body shop charged around $900 for the repair (estimate indicates labor for both headlights, but doesn't look like they replaced them). This afternoon one of the low beam headlights burned out. I went to change both sides just to be safe. On both headlight assemblies, grasping the wire assemblies to the low beam bulbs, the headlight assembly on both the left and right side is loose within its housing. I've changed the bulbs in the past, this is something new. Take it back to the body shop? What happened????
View 7 RepliesA few weeks ago my 2010 Prius was involved in a minor front end collision. The car has since been repaired. Today I noticed that the passenger side headlight assembly (which was replaced) doesn't seem to fit quite right. There is a small gap between the assembly and the body panel at the most extreme point on the side of the car. Is this just a cosmetic issue, or could water seep in at the location and cause internal damage?

View 4 RepliesThe inside lights on my 00 Passat does not go off when i shut the door and so i keep getting the buzzing sound as if door still open. Because of that I can't use the remote to lock the door. I don't see anything around the hinges or the side of the lock on the door that makes the lights turn off when the door is shut. What this could be? This is on the passenger side. I cant even lock all the doors with the key, i have to press the lock button inside the door first before i can lock the driver door.
View 4 RepliesWhile I was driving my 2000 Passat GLX last night, i noticed that the windows and the inside lights stopped functioning. When I reached home I also noticed that the car was not responding the remote lock either. This morning, I tried to start the car but there was no response from the engine although all the panel lights were on!

View 4 RepliesI just purchased a used 07 Camry. We love it but the headlights look very strange. There is a cloudy film on what seems to be the inside of each headlight, some areas are worse than others.
I would like to replace them (mostly for resale value later on) but wanted to post here before I drop a whole bunch of money on new headlamp mounts.
