For $20.00 you can buy a product called CV Headlight restore. Iused it two weeks ago and it works great & its easy just follow the directions. I bought mine at advane auto parts I've seen it in wal mart and other stores.

Yes, buy the 3M headlight restoration kit available at most auto parts store, I got mine at Autozone. You will not believe how well it turns out. It has been two years and just recently had to redo them, but for it is better to pay $20 for the kit versus $150 for a new headlamp.
They are the headlight washer covers. If you have headlight washers, these covers lift when you activate the windshield washer.
You have to remove the front bumper and remove the head lamp. then two plastic covers on the back of the assembly.

Hope I can explain this properly........ Lift the hood, position yourself in front of the bad headlight. See the black plastic shroud that covers the radiator, it runs the width of front of the engine compartment? See that little cutout in the black plastic? The cutout is in the plastic, directly above the headlight. There's an identical cutout above each headlight. Theres a little lever in the cutout, pull that lever straight up, that will release the entire headlight assembly.
I have a 95 and I believe the headlight housings will be swapped out in the same manor. There are plastic covers under the hood that protect the back side and wiring of the headlights. You must remove these. Then you will see 3 circular plastic pieces with bolt ends protruding from them which are used to adjust the headlight direction. They will have metal clips that hold the plastic pieces in place. They each have 2 holes which need to be spread apart, this will allow you to pull up on the clips and remove them. Now you can remove the headlight housings.
I'm guessing that you have clouded over or broken headlights and need to repair or replace them. If memory serves, the covers themselves are not removable. I think you need to replace the entire headlight assembly. There are kits available to resurface the plastic on the headlights, but they're expensive and there are varying reports as to how well they actually work.
No
We have cleaned covers by soaking in white vinegar and then cleaning with baking soda, and a soft scrubby like you use on coated pans. It is usually a mineral buildup.
