When I bought my car one of the fog lights had rusted and it stained the inside of the foglight. Anyone know anything I could use to clean it out? I checked to see if it would come out using a q-tip, and it will, but I cant reach the extremeties of the fog light. Thanks for any help.

Try taking the lenses off and using a rubbing compound, should clean it up fairly well.

The easiest way is to replace it. Once the chrome on the back side of the light is pitted or discolored,it's all done. Just like when headlight lenses yellow, it's best to replace them.
