Hello..My V70 with glass headlamp covers ...have condensation inside..I removed the lamps and thought I could get them to dry out,..but here in so.cal it has been raining.. I have never noticed this and today or Monday I want to remove the covers and CLEAN. as I am worried the the plastic reflectors will become damaged..I see the gaskets, and clips,,,is it as easy as it looks?
Thanks and BEST 2011..[YouTube][/YouTube]

No, it's not that easy. The lens is glued on. Put them in a warm oven and make sure the vents on top are clear.
And yes, the reflective material is fragile.
