Cleaning a very good idea. Alcohol is the liquid of preference and I use a small rag stuffed in to swirl around with the alcohol. You can retrieve the rag with a pair of tweezers when your done. Make sure the insides are perfectly dry before installing the bulbs. Use dielectric grease on the rubber seal and on the electrical connections. See my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/hdltrela.htm">Vanagon Headlamp Relay Upgrade</A> webpage for an inexpensive and easy way to get brighter light bulbs in there.
