Default I'm in the middle of modifying my ecodes to fit xenon ballast and i have a question

i now have little black plastic shavings all in the housing. Any way to get thoose out? I was thinking maybe a blow dryer would blow em all out over time. I don't think they are that noticable but they might interfere with the xenon beam? I am not sure, anyone else have this problem?

Default any relation to Big Nipper?

J/K ;p

go to a gas station & spray the compressed air you use to fill your tires in the headlight housing

or get some of that keyboard cleaner stuff

Default I'd use a vacuum 'crevice tool with a piece of vauum hose taped in the nozzle. You should be able to

flex the hose around and pick up the fragments. I use that technique to get dead bugs out of the 3rd brake light enclosure and the tail lamp housings.
