$32 bucks for a new fog light assembly and call it a day. Takes maybe fifteen minutes to swap out. I had a leak and just bought the replacement and changed it out. For the cost, not worth my time for the effort of trying to fix. May want to verify your style...

i finally fixed it! high temp RTV gasket maker and some chrome paint. its not as shiny as the original but it looks 10X's better!
BEFORE:
AFTER
i just heated it up in the oven a little, used 2 screwdrivers and slowly separated the lens from the housing. cleaned it out and repainted it. then used RTV to seal it back up. first owner drilled 2 holes on the bottom of it hoping to drain it. i sealed them back up. all the rust was from a bracket that was on the top of the housing.
i had to do both sides for them to match. the other side was flaking also so it needed it.
