High Beam Cleanout, Help On How To Clean Out The Brown Muck Inside Options

[CelicaST96]

I have a major problem with the high beams and I got them out but need to clean them out. I have H.I.D.'s ready to be put in the high beams but one of them is completely brown and the other starting to turn brown from water laying in for years. I don't know how to either take the glass part off the front or back part of it which is plastic. I know though that both need to be scrubbed clean to form the shine again and then re-sealed to make sure no water gets in it ever again.

I'd appreciate it if someone would help me out by telling me how to clean both out and then making sure they are tightly sealed so no water gets in.

Thank you,

If you really have a lot of water in it you can drill it from the bottom, thats what i had did. However if its really brown its not gunna help a whole lot. I had this too, but i had already bought another pair of OEM high beams, but i wanted to see if it would drain enough. So I pulled off all the plastic from the bottom and drilled a small hole in the bottom. All the stuff drained, I didn't re seal it or anything and drove around with a whole, so no more condensation would form, and it didn't fill up any more, and i drove it like that for about two weeks. My headlight was pretty brown though, so I ended up changing it anyways, but it worked for the time beeing.
