i bought a pair of H4 Headlights, the ones with a flat front and the bulbs plug in and out.
They are new but must not have been stored and sealed well. They seem to have a haze or sticky dust insid them on the reflector and on the inside of the glass. The opening is a little small to get my hand in there to clean. Can I put these in the dishwasher, opening side down and wash? use heat dry? |

Ok so I want to try and clean these but I have one question. How do you get the bulb out? I put a pair of sylvania silverstars in because I didnt want to break want to yank and break the bulb. The back of my H4 has a orange rubber boot seal over the back of the bulb and thats where im stuck. How does this come off?
