Default Dropped turn signal bulb into headlight housing
So I kinda sorta accidentally dropped the turn signal bulb into the housing during replacement. Is there a way to a) partially disassemble the housing to get it out b) fish it out somehow or c) do I have to resort to pulling the housing out completely and baking it in the oven to get it out? it's an AP1 headlamp assembly btw

I would not recommend putting the housing in the oven with a bulb stuck in there.

Try fishing it out using a magnet.
