OneToughMax I used a coarse file to remove the nubs. I had the headlights out so I could file and I then blew out the shavings and dust. You could try the blade if you want.
A note on the Silverstars. They are regular wattage, colored glass bulbs. They claim to be brighter...and I know they look very nice. The colored glass actually lowers the light output so Silverstars did something to the filament that makes it brighter. This compensates for the colored glass but also degrades the life of the filament. They actually dont shine brighter then stock....heck they were dimmer than my Wagner Truviews, which are dimmer then stock IMO. I've tried so many colored bulbs and finally got a brain and bought Xtravisions.
Another note: when cool blues came out I shelled out the almost $20 per bulb. I still have them too. I was dissapointed in the color output. When compared to other bulbs the 9004 always had the least amount of blue. I remeber reading Sylvania's Cool Blue booklet at the auto parts store. Every other bulb has better light output with a higher color temperature. In fact my 9004 CB's looked stock next to a Accord with CB's (bulb 9006). 9004 bulbs really pi$$ed me off.......hence the 9007 conversion!!!!!
Oh and I may as well mention it while I'm rambling on. My dad's 96 had APC Simulated HID 9004. I used to think these bulbs were rather bright. Boy was I wrong. I drove it back to back with my car. I swear to the Light Bulb Gods that I couldn't see shiet. He has OEM Sylvania's in there and the light output is still nothing compared to mine. I have side by side pix of the beam patter and it looks as if his lights are not even on.
