Bugs inside the headlights

[markandcath]

Our new alhamba has bugs inside the headlights.

Is there an easy way to get them out and is this normal or failed units.

Have to say - the only access points would be for the changing of Bulbs & for the side lights this is from inside the front wheel arch!!

How big are these bugs?? - Could a cover have fallen off from behind the light unit???

Are they glow worms?. The Pikey alternative to HIDs

Took to bulb out and taped a thin tube to the vacuum. Sucked them out a treat.

Cheers all.

My side light access cover has dropped down inside the front wing, how do I retrieve it?

Two options I see - removal of bumper! to get below the headlamp or twist your arm into the area normally covered by the cover.. and go fishing for it. Either option not easy!

If there is another way I don't know of it..

side light cover retrieval...

I wonder if I take the front wheel off and then partly remove inner plastic wing cover, that I may retrieve the side light cover from there?

Hi Woodwaaa, I should think that removing the arch liner should do it, I had to do so when investigating why my rear water jet didn't work and needed access to the washer bottle.

Good luck
