Default Projector cleaning / removal ???

Ok long story short, one of my headlight bulbs detonated in the housing which (of course) discolored the projector lens and also put a flash mark on the actual plastic headlight lens.

Any suggestions on how to clean the projector lens and also try to remove the projector to try and polish out the flash mark on the lens itself?

Hoping there is a way to do this without tearing down the entire front end, messing up my aim and or having to buy a new headlight

Thanks for any help

I'd say pull the headlight apart. More than likely that'll be the only way. You could try to get a rag, tape it to a long screwdriver... You get where I'm going. But removing the headlight, baking, taking and taking it apart would be the best option.
Plus, you can paint the inside shroud black or another color of your choice!

Ok so i can't remove just the projector, ill try a longer driver with some rag on the end. I love the re-finished headlights, i just spend too much time working and working on audio to dedicate the time to do it up right.

Thanks for the advice
