Cleaning dust out of headlights?
 
I noticed that the interior of my headlights have a bit of dust on the inside of them that is noticeable when the light is on at night. I am assuming it is from the foam peanuts and shipment. Does anyone have a method to get rid of this without pulling the light apart? Any ideas would be appreciated.

You can kinda see it in this picture, but the iphone has a hard time dealing with the light picture.

well im no doctor here but, you can pop out the small DRL bulb (not the orange one) and it would give you a small opening into your headlight. maybe you can stick a narrow vacuum head attachment through there, or some sort of modified pipe cleaner or toothbrush. just a suggestion.

Might work, ill try it with one of my lights since I have to pull it to replace a faulty bulb anyways.

Are your lights painted? I noticed mine is filled with dusts as well after i have my lights painted.

Been trying to find ways to get rid of them

Yup they are, you dont notice it at all during the day... its just at night.

Googling came across this. Might work..

Vacumm works! Just vacumm one hole and spray the other hole, it works like a charm. hah
oh yeah you have to use industrial vacumm though....cuz home vacumm wasn't strong enough for me.
