    I warned you lol. You can spray them with some degreaser and let them soak. For the inside yes you can take the cover off by heating up the silicone around the edges of them. I know some people baked then in the oven too

    haha indeed you did. Its just that it looks like its inside the housing. Should I just take out all the electrical components and let them soak? That seems like it would work right?

    Alright got them looking flawless! Took everything out of them and doused them with degreaser and then dumped them in a hot bath full of soapy water. Worked perfectly!

    Think of it this way, inside of lens caked with brown shit etc. and now it looks new again!

    No pics of before that show what was in there, I can get some after pics though(when they dry, still have moisture and water inside)

    I recommend this for anything you want to get crap out of. Works so well. Just take ALL electrical components out first!!

    Just go to the ad you placed for the taillights, get the id number from it and write it down then click on my username in i-trader click on submit feedback then enter the id number you wrote down and leave feedback. You got any pics of them yet?
