i bought a pair of H4 Headlights, the ones with a flat front and the bulbs plug in and out.
They are new but must not have been stored and sealed well. They seem to have a haze or sticky dust insid them on the reflector and on the inside of the glass.

The opening is a little small to get my hand in there to clean.

Can I put these in the dishwasher, opening side down and wash? use heat dry?

Since we are talking about H4 headlights...
How do they wire in?
White, Yellow, Brown.

What wire goes to what terminal on the light?

*edit* I think I got my answer. So long as they wire in like the stock lights.
