Default Passing Lamp Cleaning

Noticed that my passing lamps are hazy on the inside any ideas on how someone would go about to clean them?

Thanks

Hazy on the inside usually means some form of condensation. I would take it back to the dealer for a new set.

1.) Remove the Bulb from the Housing.
2.) Rince the empty Housing with Rubbing Alchohol.
3.) Allow Housing to dry completely.
4.) Reassemble Bulb and Housing.
5.) Repeat as necessary . . . I do it about once every year or two.

Nope - standard halogen may try that if I can't clean them

Those and head light needs cleaning often since they are not sealed it's simple as mentioned above and gets easier after 1st time.
