Rep Power: 0 Headlight Bulb Exploded
Got my '07 Si 2 weeks ago and decided to replace the headlight bulbs today with PIAA's...However I must've touched the bulb on something during install as it exploded after being on for about 30 minutes. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can clean all the glass particles from the headlight housing??
Thanks
Thanks

you should have cleaned the bulbs with alcohol first, even if you didnt touch it. but as for the glass, to just do a quick job, try blowing compressed air inside, it will blow them to the corners, but to get it all out youre gonna have to remove the whole headlamp and either shake it out or open them up.

Thanks fellas,
I've gotta remove my front bumper this weekend to install my fog lights so I'll take em out and shake em to see if I can get it all out...if need be I'll have to take em apart.
