Take them apart. The same way as if you were painting them.

Or maybe, take like a Shop Vac or a regular vacuum and use the extension hose, unplug one pf the bulbs from the headlight so there's a hole there. Stick the vacuum up to that hole. Kind of sucks everytinhg out since it is sealed. I did this to get the leakage out of my Depo tailights.

i think its because we have the cedia headlights from taiwan. i thought it was because they drilled my headlights from the back a little bit because of the HIDs, but since it happened to teamnexusoz, im assuming it was from the packaging and dust went through the openings during shipping
