Default My turn signal bulb fell into the housing..

I'll make it short and sweet since my head is full of F%#K anyway

Turn signal bulb fell into the housing that holds the headlight bulb ect.
I tried to use a retrieval tool to get it out and that ended up knocking the bulb in front of the headlamp bulb and scratching up thge chrome reflector part of the housing...

How the @#$% do i get this bulb out of the housing without taking off the headlamp itself (requires removing the font bumper i hear..)

thanks in advance

I did the sane thing before and I just got double sided sticky tape and got a flathead and stuck the tape on it and then put it into the light and reach for the bulb and got it. Also u can try hitting the light so the light bounces around to your tape.

Take a hammer to the lens or use a circular cutter on it... What dc said is probably your best bet.

This just happened to me! Yeah popping part of the front bumper off and removing the headlight is the only way to do it.

Thanks for the posts guys. Figured I would have to remove the bumper...Oh well, was worth a try. I do not have an instruction manual, so getting this thing off is going to be fun. Any got a good link to follow?

thanks again
