Anybody have any suggestions I was changing out the little parking light bulbs outside of the housing with led bulb and it fell into the housing of the headlights!! Wow my luck do I have to remove the whole bumper to get this bulb out of the housing? Any help.

I good luck with a small tube (like a straw) into which I pushed a loop of string -- such that there was a loop on one end, and a knotted string/loop on the other end.

I was able to slip the "noose" over a piece I dropped, pullied it tight with the string, and guided it out. The straw was flexible enough for me to push it, but strong enough to lift the aluminum screw (else I'd have used a magnet).

Speaking of magnet - try a strong one and see if you can guide the bulb to a place opposite the hole, then pick it out with one of those fingered grabber thingies (love those technical terms?).

So I decided to go into my daughters arts and crafts box and use pipe cleaners I made a hoop and fished it in and in 5 minutes had bulb out.

Thank Heaven for little girls.

How did you manage to get the bulb past the hole? Anyway good that you got it out. Did you finally get the bulb installed?

I know I used these pipe cleaners you can form them into any shape so I doubled them up to make a long stick than on the end made a round flat hoop almost like a basket I was able to scoop it up and gently bring it into hole of bulb housing and was able to grab the bulb out with fingers I can't believe it worked! But it did wow!

I used a stick and some putty, but I like your way better.
