so i went to remove my side light bulb and its fallen inside of my headlight :( ive tryed a couple of things to get it screwdriver with tape / blue tac on the end but can get it what would be the best way to get it out? thanks.

remove headlight from car completely I guess, and shake it upside down until the bulb falls out of the hole?

i'm not really able to take the bumper off etc to get to the light :(

Just methods you've tried really!

Possibly a flexi magnet, might get a grip on the pins and pull it out.

will have to give it a try tomoz lol silly thing :(

you don't need to remove the bumper completely, loosen it just enough and you can get the lamp unit out.

What he said, you only need to remove the two torx bolts in the middle of the bumper then it flexes easily enough to get the 10mm bolt out of the headlamp.

+1 for magnet.

 

Good luck.

If not a magnet, then some semi-solid sticky **** like grab adhesive or roof sealer.

In a cheap tool kit my dad gave me a few years back it has an extendible magnet (think old school car aerial), I would assume you could pick up something similar fairly cheaply in a DIY store. The magnet is bloody strong as well. 

thanks for the help guys ive managed to get it out tryed a magnet but couldnt get it back through the hole so used an old grabber my misses grandad had and got it straight out lesson learnt not to buy cheap crappy side lights off ebay  

Onion picker works wonders
