Default Very dumb mistake need major help!!! (my parking light is stuck inside my headlight)

Hello guys.

I was trying to replace my parking light with the LED light that I just bought. Unfortunately, i could secure the driver's side parking light. I tried to put it back in clockwise and then it happened.
For some ungodly reason or my own stupdidity. I know have a parking light bulb inside my headlight!!

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Should I try to remove the headlight and take out the bulb? Or Get it to the dealer and let them do it ?

If anyone has tried to remove the headlight please kindly show me the direction.


Thank you for all your help!

ok you have to be creative. be VERY patience

get those metal clothe hanger, or some hard wire. on one end put on some double sided tape or so. and now try to form the wire and try to STICk the bulb out. be careful not to scratch anything. again, be VERY patient

good luck

Also, if you wrap the coat hanger with maybe some masknig tape, it'll also help not to scratch anything.

Go to an automotive store and look for a magnet with flexible shaft or a flexible shaft gripper for picking up screws and bolts that fall into small crevices.

same thing happened to me.

I just took the headlight out and shook it around and it dropped right out.
