I bought some chrome "stealth bulbs" for my headlights from Ebay. Found out they don't fit well and as I was taking them out so i can send them back, one fell inside my headlight casing. Now I have to take the thing apart. I can't do this on my own. Is there someone that has done it that can help me?? I figure while I am in there I will take of the orange strip as well.

Here is a pic of my stupidity!! HELP ME!!!

 

go to auto zone... buy a screw / metal claw grabber. it will come out. its a small tool that is magnetic and has claws that can grab stuff on its tip.

 

is it long and skinny enough to fit through the signal bulb hole?

 

yes and flexible

 

sorry to hear that. good luck with that.

 

preheat ur oven at 250 for 5 minutes. get a piec of wet cardboard stick it in there with the headlight on top, for 7 minutes. pull it out and sperate it, u might have to repeat a couple times but it should do the job. before u stick ur headlight in, take all the wires screws and everythign off first

 

.........

wife or G/F walks in... whatcha bakin honey?

oh... a cake that looks like a Z headlight... does it look realistic enough???

lol...

 

man, i really didnt want to open it up. im thinking ill have to though, tried using a magnetic grabber but i only found one that was straight like a car antenna and thats not working.

 

might as well open both and do some painting, take out the amber, etc...

Body Color those bad boys!

 

check at sears they also call them snake tools.. definately should work.. its like a long flexable pickle grabber.. ha.. its not magnetic just has little claws and you push a button on the end you hold which opens the claws on the other..

 

if it comes down to it i will open them up and remove the amber. i will try to find another snake tool first.

 

if your going to open it.. you should paint it. make a project out of it instead of just geting a bulb.
