Default Aftermarket Turn Signals

So, I have had these on for about 2 weeks and I knew they didnt fit PERFECT...but I still installed them because I hate amber. Today I had to reconnect it because it was a little loose and the damn thing fell inside the whole headlight. I tried fishing it out with a coathanger and some duct tape ....didnt work so now im f***ed

Anyone else install these and have a problem???

same exact thing happened to me ... i thought i was the only one

ended up with a coathanger with duct tape wrapped around it, then used a tool with claw type thing on it

this thing saved my life once before when i droped a nut onto the top of my transmission...patience is a virtue...also be careful, i did scratch the chrome finish inside the headlight, but it's so hard to see unless you are looking for it...good luck and i suggest investing in a CLAW
