Inside the light??
If they are take the lights out and use a vacuum cleaner and tape some small hose to it and use that to suck them out
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

remove front bumper and then the unit itself will be the best way to do a proper job

4 torx screws in each arch liner, remove two outer bumper grills and remove the two bolts, remove front grill and remove the 5 bolts there

the headlight units are held in by 4 torx screws

will take you about 20-30 minutes first time around but after a bit of practice you'll be able to do it in 5  :grin: :grin:
