I had an HID bulb randomly explode about a week ago. It worked fine for about 4 years, so I don't know what caused it.
It left fragments of glass inside the headlight housing and I have no idea how to get those out. It's hard to get anything inside the housing because of the shield that sits infront of the bulb.
Any suggestions?

I saw the write-up on how to pull out the housing without removing the bumper. It still seems like a pain in the ***.
I'm thinking about finding a small diameter, flexible hose and attaching it somehow to the shopvac. I really don't feel like having to deal with all those bolts to remove the damn thing.
Does anyone know what could cause the bulb to explode? It's worked fine for years.

could also get some compressed air and blow it out though another hole or something
this one made me chuckle
