Seen a few posts and vids on actually opening up my headlight, but I am a little unsure as to what I would use to clean the inside of the headlight once I have opened it?

Anyone got any ideas, there is load of condesation in there, and want to get it nice and clean like the other one.

why not just dry it out then take a small cotton ball with cleaner on it and clean it from the bulb hole and not even open it up. better to try and just seal it and leave the lamp as one

if you remove all the electrics from it and add a bit of water to wash it out first then leave it to dry with the lense face down in a corner were it's easy to get into to clean then after it's dried it's going to be just one part to clean.

could leave behind some horrible chalky water marks when dry and they are hard to remove, especially if james lives in a hard water area.
