LED STUCK in parking light Hole
I just got my new 5000k leds from vled for my parking lights and I tryed to put them in but it fell off in the socket. I need ideas. FYI my first attempt bulb is also lost somewhere in there.
|
fish it out... take a wire and tape a fishing line on or a thread and have a small loop and try to hook onto the bulb wire. this could take a while, so if you want to get it out fast and not deal with losing the SOB again, my advice is to take the bumper off and get to the headlight assembly. lol
|
Interestingly enough, I read a thread a long time ago where instead of fishing it out, or taking off the bumper and removing the headlights..............someone just rigged up a small hose to their vacuum cleaner and sucked it out! That's what I would try.........especially if you have a shop vac or something. Even one of those small car vacuums might get it!

thin wire with double sided tape on the end

I like mazurfer's idea, seems like it would definetly be the easiest. I wish i would have thought of that when i got a bulb stuck...
|
I am about to replace my fogs, headlamps and more importantly to this thread.......my parking lights all with 6000k from VLED's and I will remember that vacuum trick if I need it for sure!
Let's hope I don't need it! :) Guess I got lucky the first time on the parking lights as really didn't have any issue. |
Well I finally did get the LED out of the socket with a magnet pen I got from autozone. It wasn't easy lets say that. While I got it out it fell down somewhere! So not only is there 1 but 2 leds stuck in that little area. Hopefully when I take off my bumper to install the rest of my LEDS I will be able to pick them out.

those parking lights are a bitch! luckily none of mine fell out but i did have a hell of a time fitting my hand down there... |
