Best way to clean a fog light

hey guys

so a couple months ago, i had my fog lights burn out, and like a retard i took the bulbs out without covering the holes up on the foglight.

well i drove across state and came home and took the hose to the undercarriage to rinse off the salt from the highway.

i forgot about the foglights and got water into them and so it has been sitting in there for awhile. today i just decided to quit being lazy and take them off to clean them.

i washed them out with a hose but there are still a few little dirt particles in there i would like to get out.

Whats the easiest way going about this?

shop vac, tape, small rubber hose

tape the small hose to the shop vac hose and then suck up what you can



then use a hairdryer to get the remaining droplets dried out

I wouldnt trust those lights to seal anymore. A replacement is only around $50.
