fill it with hot soapy water, let sit a few and rinse and repeat, just don;t put your bulb in till its good and dry.

Or you could find some thin plexi and make em like i did. I tried everything on mine and could not get em to polish up so i made custom clears, this picture doesnt show em great teh chrome finish inside mine was trashed so i painted em silver inside, i wanna get new ones and do the clear lens so i can have that chrome finish inside, but i'm always getting compliments and people wondering where i bought em.

I put some wax on mine, and used a buffer. Worked perfect.

if you have a dark car then tinting them looks awesome.
