I was changing the low beam headlights and accidently dropped one of the old ones in the air intake. HOW DO I GET IT OUT! Any help would be much appreciated, since I am very worried a problem could occur if I start the car. Reply ASAP, please!

Just drive your car and floor the gas. The bulb should come out our exhaust.

 

And i know this is a noob question on a site with a lot of pros, but i dont know much about cars. So, cut me a break.

 

Are you saying that pieces of it are in the intake... is it stock? If it is a K&N type cone, just unscrew the retainer and remove it and shake. If it is in the resonator box, it ain't gonna hurt you, but you could get a shop vac and suck that shit out.

 

I think its the resonator box. Its the opening next to the resonator tube in the corner by the driver's side head light. The opening is visible when the front plastic cover is removed. Im pretty sure the bulb isn't broken, but im still worried that starting the car might break it. I am going to try the vac idea, thanks.

 

The air moving is not gonna break it. You might need to un-fascen the driver-side fender liner. If you can't reach the intake funnel from the top or undernieth. The liner is held with several phillips head screws and a number of push clips. I think there are 4 screws and 8 push clips. But who knows, you might get lucky with the vac, or a long spanner.

 

i actually loled

 

Ya, whata D bag. Our exaust? Thanks ajtcl.

 

 

ass

 

Just stick a vaccuum attatchment in there, and suck it out
