Default opening turn signal housing

in my c5, the turn signal housing has small holes in the bottom, im guessing the bulb over timed burned through. anyways, both housings are full of crud and look like crap. has anyone successfully opened them up to clean, or seen a write up on the process? thanks

Mine had burn holes in the top and the water would get in and blow the bulb. I sealed them with RTV silicone. I guess you could take a hole saw and cut a hole and clean it out and then silicone the plastic back in .
