My 97 Explorer has dirty headlights. It's not producing a lot of light. The problem is, it's dirty inside the headlight lens. How do I clean the inside. Are there tools or chemicals to do this?
How to clean inside headlights.

Seems to me headlamps are generally sealed, so accessing the inside will be virtually impossible. There are a number of products to restore and polish the outer lens, but if the problem is with the inside the best thing might be to replace them. Do a google search

and type "Ford Explorer headlights" or something similar. You're likely to get a lot of options, and reasonable pricing. Best of luck.

There is the hole where the bulb goes.
Sealed with a silicon O-ring and a hefty (considering it's simple task) plastic bulb retainer........
If there is contamination inside the headlamp pod, I would suspect some sort of leak..... possibly the kind of leak that might allow rainwater to contact the bulbs on some dark and thankless night...
