Method two: Attach a small diameter of silicone hose to your vacuum cleaner and get the dust out that way...old skool. LOL

i got to thinking, if i did wash the inside of the lights with distilled water i should probably add a little alcohol with the water so it'll dry better

well i thought water would streak, but then someone else said something about it so i figured water with alcohol. B/c the alcohol would make it dry real fast.

Happened to me once, i used distilled water with a little windex (glass and window cleaner) in it shook it well and then i dried it up inside thoroughly with a hairblower... worked perfect.

Just be sure is completely dry before installing it again because if you donĀ“t condensation will fog from the inside and can ruin your lightbulb.

If you use distilled water, there won't be any streaks or spots. A water spot is basically left over stuff (minerals, etc.) that was in the water, and that stuff stays behind when the water evaporates. If you use distilled water, which has no "stuff" in it, there is nothing to be left behind to make a spot.
