Headlight lens

Post by Chushpie »

Hi there.

Does anyone know whether the lens can be removed from the headlight?

In a moment of madness, I agreed to let my brother put some LED bulbs in my headlights as he's put them in his car and said they were 'ace'. He dropped a bulb inside the headlight and now it's rolling around in there!

I must admit, the new bulbs do look very nice but every time I walk past the front of my car, all I can see is my old bulb lying there staring back at me! :yikes:

Yes they can but it's not easy
Ull need to heat the unit uP and split the casing apart
Then you can get ur bulb out

Oh no! Was hoping that wasn't going to be the case - didn't fancy baking my headlamp on gas mark 5!!!!! :hyper:

It may have to stay there then unless I can rigg up some sort of magnet to fish for it. Might have a play at weekend.

Thanks for confirming the worse anyway!

Is it not possible to maybe get one of those bendy screw drivers with a magnet on and go through the headlight part some how

That's exactly what I was thinking of - I was quite good at 'Operation' when I was a kid!

Failing that, I might take the headlamp out and try to jiggle it back through the hole like one of those maze puzzles with the ballbearing in!
