How the #### did that get in there!! (Lights)
« on: 26 July 2010, 18:33 »




It looks like a bit of paper or something on the inside.  :sad:

A mate at work pointed it out to me the other day thinking it was a stone chip.  :undecided:

Next question is how do i get it out  :undecided:

Snoop, it must have got in during the production stage, there's no way thats just managed to work its way in there.

Not sure how to get it out, only thing I can think of is if there is any gap at all in the seams of the lights etc that you could maybe modify a hoover end like a henry to try and suck it out/through but apart from that I'm at a loss.

Pretty unfortunate and unlucky, it would annoy me if It was mine.

Snoopy:
Well, I checked my halogens and my speedometer. One stone chip on the offside halogen --- teeny, weeny.
The speedometer 'white fluff' has now dropped where it is no longer visible for now.
Your 'white bit' will move around and eventually drop out of sight. You could change the light under warranty. Bloody annoying. :angry:
Sorry you have had this happen. :sad:
