Default Restoring Headlights

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to tare apart the head lights of my 2002 mustang? The inside is hazed I have attached pictures. Any pictures of the process would be great.
Thanks, Mike

I Bought that Bluemagic Headlight lens Restorer and tried it on the outside and it didnt do anything so I figured it was on the inside. I will check out your sticky. thanks for the quick response,
Mike

i have a '98 and recently replaced my head lights. i forget how much it was, $150-200 i think, you have a newer mustang with the blinker and headlights together so i'm sure it will be twice as much. just google for them.
