Side light bulbs
« on: April 04, 2017, 05:40:17 pm »
BALLS! I went to replace a non working side light bulb. Easy enough, but the holder came away from the bulb so I went to slide the holder back on to the bulb but instead of doing that, the bulb dropped into the headlight compartment! Has anyone else had this issue and any ideas on getting it out again!!!

Yep it's happened before.

The last time it happened I remember the owner used some chewing gum wrapped around the end of a piece of wire coat hanger bent into shape. Multiple attempts later he managed to get it out, But it's not easy.

Good luck :)
