Default headlight Housing Removal
Does anyone have instructions to remove the passenger side headlight housing? I dropped a headlight bulb in there when replacing. 2019 Trax LT
Thanks

requires front bumper fascia removal. Can you grab it with a retractable claw tool?

I cannot see th bulb to grab it. I have ordered a digital inspection camera in hopes to be able to get the probe in a position to see the bulb and grab it with my claw.

I have a tool that is a flexible shaft with a magnet at the end. Use it all the time to retrieve dropped sockets. Works great!

as much as I can appreciate your comment, there is only 2 very small pieces of metal that are the contacts. A magnet will not do the job.
