Ok I went to replace my parking light bulb with a LED bulb and the LED dropped out and now is inside of the plastic housing. So how do I get it out?
I have a 2011 XB rs8.0 287 of 2000 Voodoo blue. Got it last week with 7500 miles on it. switched out most bulbs with LEDS.Just installed HID kit.
Put 18" chrome wheels on it and a Kenwood ddx719 head unit and new polk door speakers.
Love my new toy

 

Three easy steps.
1. Pull taillight off of aforementioned car.
2. Shake said taillight until LED bulb falls out.
3. Drink a beer.

If step two doesn't work, follow these steps:
1. Rattle around the taillight some more.
2. Use some thin needle nose pliers to help grasp the bulb.
3. If needle nose are too large, acquire tweezers.
4. Drink a beer.

If those steps don't work, follow these easy steps:
1. Drink a beer.
2. Drink another beer.
3. Forget about it.

 

Xseveredveganx you got it wrong . The beer will not work . Use Crown Royal .

 

smash it open and get the bulb out. first problem solved....new problem acquired.

 

I tried the beer and crown royal....I guess it worked because now I can't find my XB

 

Ha! Great!

I've done this before and had to do the same thing I mentioned, minus beer because I don't drink. But if I did, you know i'd be doing so. Hopefully you get it out, because those bulbs are spendy!

 

beer... get fat

liqour... liver problems


i have a beer belly, liver problems and working tail lights

All kidding aside whatever you do don't stick them in the oven... I found out the hard way that the tail lights are not the same material as the headlamps.

 

this. the plastic is ultrasonic welded together, you'd have to cut the taillight housing in order to open them.

 

yup! luckily phobic had his originals and I had some extra speakers and we traded
