Default Fog light lens cleaner?

Im about to repair my fog lights. They are the big round Cobra ones from like a 1999 or 2001. I plan to buy a pair of Raxiom bulbs from American Muscle. But I have one out and was looking at it and it's plastic lens is cloudy inside. Like dried milk colored.

Is there some cleaner I could pure into the lens and swish it around? You cannot take the lens apart to get in there any other way. I do have some CLR but I dont want to blindly pour something in there that could potentially make it worse. I like to use my fogs as light and not just decoration. I like them bright enough to see by at dusk.

These are the bulbs I plan to get. Seem good.

There's definitely a few ways you can clean your lights, any sort of headlight cleaner from a parts store should do the trick!

As far as the lights go, those bulbs will definitely work great. Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

Thanks for the support Dan. Do forum members get a discount when we use the AM link on this forum?

I also found out that toothpaste actually works cleaning that. I haven't tried it myself because I've never had to, but it may be worth a shot.

I really cant get in the lens housing with anything to clean it. The hole is the size of the bulb. And its plastic.

It's unmounted. Ill take a closer look at it but they seem to be fully sealed.

My cheap yet new oem bezel arrived today. looks sweet. May have to wait till next month to get the bulbs. Im fairly poor these days lol.
