Default 740 sedan - headlight lens replacement

I am NEW to this forum. Can anyone help me figure out how to remove my "yellowed" lenses? Are there any previous threads on this issue? I have already purchased new ones. My daughter is having trouble seeing while driving at night!!!

Many thanks!

If you are just replacing the Lens good luck. I believe they are glued on.
If they aren't loose you will have to try to cut them loose.

Tech ....thanks for replying.

I have the entire headlight (lens & black plastic housing are sealed). In looking at the existing headlight, above the light assembly, there are two 5/8" plastic fittings which turn screw threads into theholes in theplastic housing.When I turn one of these 5/8" fittings, the headlight moves in/out depending upon clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation. I don't believe these fittings are for horizontal/vertical beam alignment.
Does my explanation make any sense to you? I would appreciate your help with this project.

Thanks man

I can't figure it out, but then that's me. I've got the new "buckets" and still can't figure out how to replace them.
