How do I clean inside my headlights??
(I did a search)
I've heard of heating them up and opening them. How safe is this? What's the procedure (temps, times, etc.)? What should I clean with? What should I reseal it with?
Thanks guys.

Yup - you need to bake em. Pop em in the oven for 8 min @ 350. Oughta do the trick. Its plenty safe. Be sure to, obviously, remove all rubber fittings and stuff prior to doing so. Clean it with lens cleaner. Seal it with silicone sealant.

and seal it really well... otherwise you get water/misting whenever it rains or when you wash your car.

Word. Condensation sucks. I held mine tight FOREVER to make sure it sealed.
*Sorry about the cookie sheet thing
