Taillight question

Okay so today I received some taillight signal bulbs that I bought off the BM here and was installing them. I got one side in with no problem and then when I was putting the second bulb in on the other side the bulb fell out of the connector and into the taillight housing.

Has anybody had this happen to them or am I just unlucky? and if so how did you get the bulb out? Im really hoping to avoid taking the bumper off and taking the taillight off and having to shake the housing until it comes out so if anybody has any better ideas I'm willing to try anything

Thanks!

Lol that sucks

Get a wire coat hanger, unravel it so it's just a straight wire, put some tape on one end and make sure it's sticky to the touch, then go fishing lol

good luck

that sucks... all you have to do really is just drop the bumper on 1 side, not remove the entire thing. taillight removal is cake.

Your just gonna have to come up with a clever way to fish it out. Some sort of very sticky tape on the end of a hanger and try to fish it up to the whole and wedge it in place, then try and yank it out with your fingers. If that's just not gonna work then you'll have to remove the housing. As others have said it's not too bad at all.
