The headlight lens is molded as part of the headlight body. You can not just remove the lens.

If you need a new lense, you will have to buy the entire assembly. If you are trying to replace a blown headlight bulb, you can access the bulb from the back of the headlight assembly. Remove the electrical connection to the headlight bulb and remove.

There are various ways that manufacturer secure the headlight bulb in the housing, but I am not familiar enough with this model to give you the step by step.

Probably not a lens cover at all. It's just a 1 piece plastic headlight. It you are wanting to replace a bulb , they go in from the back . Open the hood and you should be able to see where the wires to the bulb go in the back of the headlight.

2005 Nissan Pathfinder. What are the torque specs and tightening sequence for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder please?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

It helps to know which part, but let's guess 'cylinder head'? Let me know if it is mains, oil pan, rocker cover or whatever.

How do you remove the tail light lens cover for a 1987 Nissan Pickup truck

You can't remove the lens cover. The tail lights are molded as one piece. If you want to change the bulbs, there should be an access panel inside the truck box right behind the tail lights that gives you access to the bulbs. There are also screws to remove the entire tail light assembly if it needs replacing.

Lens cover is worn and dull lights are dim at night

You can purchase a polishing kit that will clear up the lens some what. See http://www.amazon.com/3M-Headlight-Lens-Restoration-System/dp/B001AIZ5HY

They also can be purchased at your local automotive parts store.

How to change the inside overhead brake lights in an 86 corvette

Hi,
1.Remove the two Phillips head screws from the brake light lens cover.
2.
Pull the lens cover away from the tail light panel. Set it aside on a soft surface because the lens scratches easily.

3.Push in the bad brake light bulb. Twist it counterclockwise to disconnect it from the socket
4.
Insert the new brake light bulb while wearing gloves. Twist it clockwise to secure it to the socket.

5.
Re-position the lens cover. Push it in firmly to secure it, and then tighten the two screws.

Good luck!!!!!

Remeove rear combination tail light cover 2006 Nissan XTERRA

thode screws hold the lens or the light assembly? Allow for the whole tail light to come out and the bulb plug will be accessible. I never had the privilage. But how the lens fits will tell you. If the lens goes overthe edges, the whole unit comes out, lens is sealed. Good luck
