The lenses, like those of many other newer model cars, get cloudy with time. This cloud can be removed by way of simple polishing. If you have access to a right angle drill and a polishing pad, you have the tools you need. Now, before mounting your polishing pad on the rubber, (flexible), backing plate soak it in water then wring it as dry as possible, by hand. Mount the pad then apply a bit of polishing compound to the pad and a smear on the lens. I use old fashioned Dupont polishing compound paste. Carefully polish the entire lens with the pad. Apply more compound as needed. Be careful. The compound is an abrasive and will remove the paint and chrome plating from neighboring parts. You can use masking tape to cover and protect them.

After a couple minutes of polishing, use a clean dry cloth to remove the compound haze. Continue working the compound on the lenses until you are happy with the results. Wipe them with the clean dry cloth and you're done. Think of it like waxing the car. By the way, the process can be done by hand too. It just takes longer. I don't recommend a standard straight angle drill as they are very hard to control on smooth rounded surfaces.

How do you replace the headlight assembly located on a 1999 VW Passat?

I have a 2001 pre-model changeover which should be similar to 1999. I'm not sure if you mean replacing the headlight bulb but if that's the case you would pull out the round rubber grommet and that makes the bulb assembly accessible. You just unclip it, pull it out and replace the bulb...To change the headlight assembly (housing) there are 2 mounting bolts on top (covered)to remove, then pull out the assembly...
