problem with projectors

i searched the forums and i didnt find anything about this problem (sorry if this is a repost)

so my dad ordered the black projectors from www.genkituning.com for me for christmas.

i opened the box and took the headlights out and then noticed half the packing peanuts got inside the headlight and i have no idea how to get them out.

they are stuck in there with static electricity so shaking it won't work, and a lot of them even look like they were there before the headlight was even sealed.

i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

i'm probably going to send them back, and if i do, should i buy from them again or where else should i buy from?

try some compressed (canned) air to get them out... if that won't work... send them back and buy from someone who dosen't use peanuts like an idiot.

There are many many vendors on e-bay who sell the Halos for a good price.

haha yea i didn't mind the peanuts, but to me it's common sense to wrap the headlights in plastic bags before putting the peanuts in anyways.

haha we talked to the company and we're sending it back and they're sending a brand new set.

i've tried everything that has been suggested on here but the static keeps holding it in.

and as for the vacuum, some of the pieces are way too far in there and the vacuum adapter will not fit.
