I am a dumba$$
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!!!

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
