Thank you all for your notes.

I've decided to clean up the lenses I have.

I'll use oven cleaner and/or steel wool and/or wet sanding with increasingly finer grades of emery cloth and/or rubbing compound.

Brighter bulbs and/or heavier wiring are options after that.

Many thanks to those who posted the reference to Daniel Stern's site:

I could clean the lenses in place, but the're not fully glued on any more - I think that time did that, I didn't! They're also pretty well scuffed up and yellowed. I want to get the assemblies out and clean up the lenses properly, then glue back together with silicone RTV or something similar.

I've found that first I need to cut off the rusted bolts & nuts that are holding in the headlight assembly. Darn New England weather, rust shows up in all kinds of places.

The nuts turn, but the bolts turn with them, and there's no room to grab the bolt tip w/a Vise-Grip while using a wrench on the nut. In order to save the components I have, I think I'll need to carefully cut off the nuts and bolt tips, and replace with nice long stainless steel ones when reassembling.

I figure at least one weekend per side, assuming the usual amount of other non-Volvo activities per weekend.
