'95 Corolla Headlights

Well, I just got my '95 wagon and access to post here, so I've got some pent up questions. I see on Ebay and on various internet parts sites that you can buy replacement headlights for anywhere from $35-$50 each. Both my headlights have that kind of hazy/yellowish look to them. The glass isn't clear at all. Other than having to align the beams, is this a fairly straight forward swap, meaning, do the new ones just bolt in?

Thanks again - Jevid

yup simple swap and there's a detailed guide to aiming in the G/D Forum's Mega Sticky.
Try headlightswholesale.com before ebay tho, they're cheap, fast and quality new parts.

I used Blue Magic Plastic & Fiberglass Cleaner. It can be found at your local Advance Auto Parts or Autozone.

Thanks!

Thanks everybody. I'll try cleaning them first. I just assumed it was permanent. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll try a replacement set. Believe me, I'm all for saving $$.

Thanks - Jevid
