For the parking lights, I think that you cant take the lense off without breaking it. I think the only way to take it off is to use a dremel or something. You could always try polishing them. That worked well when my parking lights were cloudy.

You can polish them. Try a few searches about polishing your lights.

Yea keep trying. There are some great "how to's" out there on this subject matter. For some reason, due to server loads, the search feature has been finiky.
