Spider webs in my halogens!

I actually have spider webs forming inside one of my halogen lights! How can I get them out or should I have the dealer do it at my first oil change?

Sweet! I should do that for Halloween.

If you're under warranty I'd have the dealer play with them when you're in.

Personally, I'd pull the bulb module out and spray it out with compressed air.

How does something like that happen? Isn't that part of the headlight watertight when you close the bulb compartment?

1) Pop open the headlight cover
2) Unscrew the bulb
3) Stick hand inside to collect web
4) Pray that web wasn't created by a brown recluse =8^0

Maybe one of those little buggers slipped in while they were building it and the egg sack just finally hatched open!
