Bright light lenses
I am trying to figure out how to take the lenses for the bright lights out of the grill for cleaning. I have read about Brian's trick using denture cleaner to clean them, I just can't figure out how to remove them. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Bright light lenses
You have to twist the plastic white keepers on the back 180, but the problem is that they are so brittle they break.
So I remove the entire grille, and do the lenses in the Kitchen sink.... with the
spray nozzle I under stand that the plastic / nylon keepers are still avail at the stealership or mk1autohaus but never got that froggy, besides that allows me to scrub the dirt and crap off the grille too.

Re: Bright light lenses
I had the grille off the car and I can see why it makes sense to clean the lenses that way. I could not get the bulbs out. Do the twist out or pull out? And then do you put the denture cleaner inside the lens? Mine are not to bad but I think it will help improve the overall look of the car. BAP will be here soon

The Bulbs don't twist out, they pull out, after you remove the keeper of the back.
