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?

have fun

 

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

 

I didnt remove the whole headlight. i just undid the wheel well and stuck my hand in through the back. didnt want to take the whole headlight off, kinda scared to do that.

 

Well... Looks like you have to take it off now. Have fun and make sure to tape your fender good..

 

i think im going to just leave the bulbs in there for now. lmao! extra lazy. ill get them out when i decide to black my headlights out.

 

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!

 

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..

 

thanks for the input guys. one of my first mistakes. but we all make mistakes. just luckily it wasnt major.

 

I'm on the same boat..... =\

 

Try getting it out with a vacuum.
I cleaned up a broken bulb that way.

You need an adapter of some sort taped onto the end of the vacumm.
I taped a funnel extension onto the end & then taped a piece of neoprene tubing to that.

I then fished it through the hole & it worked great!

 

^thanks dude. Sounds like a great idea. Ill have to try it when I have time.

 

You ever get your bulb out?? I had to do this last week. PM me if you need help.

 

Sorry but I gotta do it...

Skilled Fail.

 

I did the same thing today, LED poped out into the headlight. Did you get it out and if so how?
