Right, I removed the bulbs from the light unit, then soaked the unit in water with plenty of washing up liquid; they looked so clean and new, but then began to mist up again. Okay, no problem I thought, that will evaporate, but like hell has it! :x LOL

So these lights have been drying 2 days and in the boiling hot temperatures we have here in France, but they look worse than ever.

Can anyone help, advising me how to get these lights looking clean?

Cheers :D

Will be interested in seeing a good fix for this as my inner lights look exactly the same, somebody also told me to wash them out with soapy water but might wait now

I cleaned mine with methelated spirit and lots of cotton buds. This worked a treat.

The residue in the lens may be soap (if it didn't get rinsed out enough) or maybe just water marks where it dried out quickly.
