Headlight Bulb?

[fras]

What would cause a headlight bulb to shatter in the headlight?

One of my hyperwhite bulbs shattered and stained the inside of my headlight? I got most pieces of that bulb out but now the inside of the headlight stain!

[cinco]

the only thing that really causes the bulb to shatter in the headlight is if it has oil from your hand on it
or it was hot then got wet some how

[venum]

oil from your fingers

you touched teh bulb when putting it in

or a defective bulb - some impurity in teh glass housing during manufacture

[fras]

I didn't touch the bulb!
What ever it was, it left the inside of my headlight stained

U CAH PUT SOMETHIN IN D HOLE N WIPE IT OUT ?

Maybe but i'll prefer to open the headlight and wipe it out... polish if necessary!
Idea of washin it out crossed my mind tho

"Sweat" as you put, it is moisture condensing on the inside of the headlight.it is caused by leaks in the headlight seal.
