How to clean inside headlights.

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?

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...
