I did some mild wading at my dealers off road event and noticed that my driving lights were half filled with very muddy water.
How do you clean the mud and mildew out of your stock driving lights? I was going to through a suckerfish in there to eat the mildew but that does not seem practical.
Does any one know what the two hoses going into the driving light housing are for? I assume they are there to circulate air and get rid of moisture.

I had the same problem with my PS turn signal. Water would even freeze in there. This would even happen while driving on the road if it was wet. I was tired of draining out the half filled light that the last time I just drilled a small hole near the back-bottom of the lens to let the water drain out. It's been fine since but I may need a replacement light soon anyway.

what about headlights? Mine seem to fog ever and I hear rumors that there is some design flaw with a "washer" that doesn't seal. Is this correct? And if so, is there a quick fix that would reseal the washer?
