Default little help? [lost city-light bulb during install]

was changing my city/parking lights and one of the bulbs fell down the hole where the wire for the DRL enters the housing. any idea where that bulb fell to? i checked the plastic behind the bumper where you install fog light bulbs, but didnt see it there.

That's a really tough call to make. Worst comes to worst you would have to take ur bumper off and headlight out to check. I'm sure you already checked the ground and surrounding area where u were working. Good luck bud

You dropped it into the area behind the moisture shield?

Then the bulb is just laying in the dead space behind your projector housing but still inside the headlight assembly. It won't do any harm being there, and AFAIK the only way to get it out would be to remove your headlights and shake it out.
