??-Clearing out headlights for an '02 civic

I have a 2002 2 door Civic EX and I want to clear out my headlights so they will be all silver. I'm not sure on how to do this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Lessons learned...
1. You will need goo gone
2. You will need to wear crappy pants
3. Do not do this at the kitchen table
4. You will need will power and a little muscle
5. You will need a T10 TORX driver
6. You need to search and use the DIY!

Also, make sure you clean some of the old sealant out of the groove that the lens sits in or else it won't fit right and use a good amount of clear silicone to seal it up when u are done to avoid fogging...no worries, you will do fine!

I did it on my kitchen table. Using goo gon ate the finish away on the "chrome" pieces within the headlight. Be careful with that stuff.

No way is that going to be enough silicone. Get more maybe 2 or 3 more. You want that thing to be glued mad tight. I only used one bottle and condensation gets inside my headlights on certain days, at night.
