wow that sucks, you might have to bake open the light and clean it all out! or try and empty it out of the hole where the light goes.

Greasy Fingerprint on the bulb?

Try taking the foglight housing out - fill it with water halfway. Shake it up and pour it out.
OR
Try using a detailing extension on a vaccuum
OR
Compressed air to blow the particles loose

Also - if you do take the housing out - you don't necessarily need to bake it.
Hear gun or hair dryer works as well - just to melt any silicone holding it together.

Weird. I've had my yellow Eurolites in for 8 months and they're still going strong.
