Title: Sidelight fell into projector depo headlight
Post by: ruhaleali on January 14, 2015, 08:17:07 pm
Guys i tried to disconnect my sidelight and the bulb fell into the hole. What can I do to get this out. I am going to disconnect the head light tommorow and hopefully use a straw and nose pliers to remove this.

My brothers fell in his xenons and took ages to get out as it became wedged inside
Personally I'd take the light off the car and tilt it until you can get a hold of the bulb

He ended up getting it out a when it moved from the front of the light to the back after he drove it for a few months.
Was just a case of waiting till you can see it and using anything you can to get a hold of it, I'm pretty sure we used a spring loaded grabber tool
We still needed to take the light off the car just to get proper access into the light
