Yap, that's nasty stuff in there now. If you try to rub it with anything you'll scratch the reflector and interior of the lens. you'll have to seperate the lens from the headlight body, and that's not an easy task. Once you have it seperated, you'll need to rinse everything out before washing it with soap. If you don't want to seperate the lens, you can try removing the headlight and filling it with warm water and soap, and shaking it a bit, then rinse and do it as many times as it takes to get all of that crap out of there Or buy a replacement Good luck.
