Cleaning Headlight Bulb?
i was doing my 9005 conversion and i needed to install three o-rings to get it to fit in snug. anyhow in the process i think i accidentally touched the bulb with my winger when moving the ring.
is it safe to clean the bulbs? ive been told that i can use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol and this will work
any suggestions?
thanks.

Now that's a new one. I thought glass was made of glass, not enamel.
Alcohol, Acetone and other organic compounds may cause plastics to haze (car headlights for example) but you'll be fine with using alcohol on glass.

Next time use a condom but this time you can clean it off with rubbing alcohol.
