Ripping apart SE Fogs

Ok heres the deal... Since I just bought my max well who cares... My fogs have ALOT of water in them and some ORANGE mildew or something and they are pretty rusted.... You think I'll be able to pry open the cover and clean it all up ?? What do you recommend me to use to RE-SEAL the headlight cover? Oh and how would I be able to pry it off!

Any of you guys ever had to go through these missions?

I tryed taking them aprt and i gave up, it is pritty hard. I just took them out and spyed lots of wd-40 in the light and cleaned to nmy best ability, it wont get all the orange and yellow out tho but it makes them look better.

Not sure that I would spray WD-40 in there...it gets pretty hot in that housing....

I would just rinse them out and let them dry completely before putting them back on the car.

The reflector inside the fog light is metal.

Orange color means it's rusted.

Toss them in the garbage and get new ones.

teh reflector is not rusted, on the buttom of the light theres a big line of orange goo... just piled up on the bottom of the light, i saw the reflector it doesn't look bad gonna try anyways, I prolly will get new fogs either way because im missing the little corner peice of it where the screws go..
