Dropped LED bulb into headlight

Today I was trying to install my LEDs into the side headlight strip and when i had got it back into the hole the bulb popped out of the socket and dropped down somewhere into the headlight. Would anyone who knows how to take the headlight off and has done it before, be willing to help me try and retrieve the lost LED bulb?

Didnt you already have your headlight off? SHake it around and see if it works it way back toward the hole.

Happened to me when I put a LED in the clearance strip.

Fortunately the bumper was off and I could take off the headlamp to try to shake it out.

Unfortunately, the thing wouldn't come out so I just left it in there and bought another bulb.

I don't think it will do any harm leaving it in, unless you are doing extreme weight reduction. In that case, the bulbs extreme weight will add 20 seconds to your quarter mile. So plan to stay up 10 hours to get the thing out. Good luck and have fun!

Send a message via AIM to naveeeddd
juss make sure the led doesnt bounce around too much in there cuhz it can damage/scratch/and possibly take out the projector if it gets in that area n im sure ud rather not pay 400 for a headlight..
