NO! Headlight bulb stupidity

[Nav]

Being the fool my uncle is and the type of guy that says "let me do it"

he tried to change my dipped beam bulbs and didn't disconnect it from the back and it snapped and is now in the headlight.. It probably won't do any harm sitting at the bottom but it won't do much good either so I want to take it out.. how can i do this without removing the whole headlight which i assume means removing the bumper too..

surely I'm not the first person in the world that has had this stupid error happen to them?

P.S those side lights are a right to get out I gave up lol

Try a piece of wire with some blu-tac on the end. The best way would be to remove the headlight.

What snapped and is in the headlight? The back of the bulb? I'd try TimSawf's suggestion because removing a headlight is a PAIN IN THE BUTT.

As for the sidelights, they're actually so easy to remove. Once you get access to them, there are two buttons on each bulb you press and pull and they'll come out right away.

Got a flexible hose u can attach to a vacuum cleaner?

put some tights ( ) over the end and then put it into the headlight (if there is enough space)

Should suck it up and wont be in the cleaner either

Like this:

the plastic chrome bit won't allow the vacuum to go through

the actual glass bit where the light is "made" lol

I can't even get the bulb out of its holding its so annoying

some great suggestions.. Im gonna try wire and blue tac if not the flexible claw will be my only hope by the looks of things

Bluetac and wire coat hanger, or put some gaffer tape on the end instead of bluetac.
