Question 194 blub fell in headlight

i put in a 194 super white led and it seems they dont sit tight in the parking lights AKA CITY LIGHTS and i hit a bump and they fell into the headlamp, not the front of the light but down inside, what do i do? and what can i do to make the blub from keep falling out?

Which brand of 194 LED bulbs did you buy?

Sorry I'm not much help, but it would be nice to know what to avoid when we are buying the next set of 194's.

If it was 'loose' in the first place, why didnt you cut some thin strips of electrical tape??? NOW you gotta pull the drl and go fishing with a wire hanger with masking tape on one end....

They were 194 1W High Power that i bought from V-Leds and they are also for sale on ebay threw Warden. I didnt think of putting electrical tape because i thought the heat from the HID would unravel the tape. and since they fell and didnt fall where you can see them where did they go? Does the whole headlight have to be pulled out or should i leave them there?

This happened to me, and I didn't get them out until I removed the headlights and shook them out...

Yeah, he wasn't kidding when he had to shake them out.
