alright guys I have like all the mods that you can do to a 3g TL, from rims to black out tail lights, except for the comptec exhaust i covered it all... My last touch was a set of Fog light bulbs...Bright yellow... everything was good until i pulled up in my drive way and noticed only one on I know what's the worst that could happen right...?! well in the morning i was going to put the original in and to my surprise can you beleive that the bulb broke inside my headlight case. Now i have peices of yellow glass inside my headlight casing... Anyone have any idea how will i manage to fix this without having to buy another headlight. Even so i heard the bumper needs to be removed to remove the headlight, is this true?!
My TL was just right.. why did I have to mess with the lights dammit man!
How it happened must have been these bumpy roads, speed bumps, hard acceleration and the combo that I may not have locked it in tight enough...

can't i just flip the car upright and shake it off?!

 

did you buy cheap no name bulbs?

Try to find a vacuum with a thin hose you can get in there, or take a chopstick and wrap duck tape (sticky side out) and stick it in there to get the class out...


EDIT: Masking tape might be better so you don't leave any adhesive residue on the lense accidentally.

 

Yeah, try a vaccum with a thin hose. Sorry man... good luck with it.

 

Depending on the bulb, it`s a general rule to make sure you don`t touch the glass, as it will leave oil and possibly shatter when heated... or at least wipe them clean before turning them on...
1.) vacuum... with a tube attached/taped to the attachment hose
2.) compressed air... i.e. dusters (to clean electronics, computer keyboards)... i suggest safety glasses and gloves with this one...

 

compressed air??? That could blow the casing apart, since it is sealed. Try a vaccum with a thin hose. I am worried the ducktape would leave residue.

 

nice guys ,I may try the masking tape on a stick. the vacumm idea sounds the best but to find a hose that thin to get in there isn't going to be easy.
These bulbs were not cheap o's and i'm very aware about the oil residue left
on them at installation from finger tips and i was carefull. anyhow any more suggestion is well appreciated

 

try taking a plastic straw and rigging it to the hose of a vacume cleaner as tight as possible to prevent leaks, with tape or whatever else you can think of. That should be small enough to get in and a little flexible.

 

we still havent seen any pictures of the car, with teh 20's and smoked taillights, hook a fellow WDP brother up, with some pictures of the car and some of the fog light issue..

or apply cheesecloth over mouth, suck in with flexy straw.....with no one looking

 

Take this opportunity to clear out those headlights
