Default Possible to clean 90-91 tailights?

Ok, like most people my tailights over the years it was a daily. Have gotten moisture and kind of a mossy build up inside. Is there any way to disassemble them to clean the plastic at all? i have seen some cleaner at wal-mart but its only for the out side. not sure if you can take these apart.

Thanks fellas

Yes it is VERY possible. There is a castrol product called " Super Clean " I think. Remove the tailights, remove the bulbs of course. Mix the cleaner 1/3 cleaner + 2/3 water. Fill the lights and let them soak. You will also get the nifty pink crap to go clear . Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary.

Just mix it with less cleaner if you want to weaken it. Be careful and do it once or twice to make sure nothing fades. SO FAR mine haven't faded. I've done it twice now once before I realized I needed to replace my tailight gaskets lol.
