i have dust inside my headlight housing as well.. you actually have to remove the bulb and try getting a little "artist brush" and lightly spray some windex or something on it and gently rub the dust off from the inside... you will have to be careful not the drop the brush into the housing though... heh... (note - my car has never been in dirt either - but dust always gets in there)

i havent actually done this yet, i am going to wait until I replace my headlights (when they burn out)...

fog lights might be harder as the hole is probably smaller to try to fit something into...

I probaly do :grin: but at the same time mine noticeable at night and i hate walking by my car at night when my headlights are on(remeber now there on auto and always kept on auto)and all i see are little specs. Plus makes the car look bad in my opinion.I think this weekend i might try n clean em up and put before and after pics up both night and day so everyone can see what im talkin about and how annoying it is.

Yea your right i do have to much time on my hands now that i really think about it :thumbsup:
