Have any of you ever knocked the front side light bulb out and int the headlight when changing the bulb?
...had to remove the bumper and split the glass off the headlight to get it out...all for a poxy tiny bulb.

i fitted led sidelights 2 days ago, as i was taking the driverside one out, and funnily, the thought crossed my mind that if i pulled the holder out at an angle the bulb was going straight into the headlight.... :shock:

i said a little prayer before i took it out and thankfully it stayed put. ive never been happier to see a blown bulb infront of me 8)

It hasn't happened to me yet. But each time I have to chage a bulb or remove the holder for any reason I always pray it doesn't happen :pray:
