Default my 9006 bulbs are dirty, how do I clean them?

I know people once told me to use Rubber Alcohol Isopropyl 70%, what kind of cloth to use so I don't scratch them?

I don't mean to be a jackass, but how did the bulbs get dirty when they are enclosed in a sealed housing? Do you have a leak in your headlight housing?

I had them lying around in the draw in the garage, somehow they got a little dirty with some smear marks. so what material should I use to clean them?

Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball (100% genuine cotton only, none of that fake synthetic shiat ).

Lens cleaning cloths should do the trick well. Go to a camera store.

Don't expect these bulbs to last very long, though I'm sure you're already aware of that because you're taking the time to clean them properly.

the alcohol idea was good -- lens cleaner works great too
