Not sure if I can somehow suck that out through the bulb fitting hole with a small tube attached to a vacuum cleaner or will need to dismantle it.
Is dismantling a reasonable job?
Hi Andrew

Dismantling is relatively straightforward, but the unit does need removing from the car before you can take the lens off. It's covered in the refurb thread I did on the bi-xenons.

It would probably be wise to have the alignment checked after refitting as there's reasonable movement on the fixings.
