Default Fog Light Housing Question

Hey all,

At some point, I got a good bit of water in my fog housing and it shorted one of the bulbs and the other one is fine. Have the bulbs all replaced and working and drilled a small drain hole at the bottom of the housing but the inside of the housing lens is filthy and needs to be cleaned. Is there any way to separate the lens from the housing to clean it and reassemble it somehow?

I read that it can be done in the oven but does anyone have details to this? Temp, time, how to separate, how to reassemble?

Thanks for any help!!

I actually ended up baking them in the oven at 175 for 10 min. Then once I pulled it out, I popped the lens off with a flathead screwdriver. Cleaned them out real good and sealed back with some outdoor silicone sealant
