Parkers

[VZMAX]

Hi Guys
just replaced my blown off parker over the weekend..but accidently the parker came off the holder when I pushed it back into the headlight and now the parker is inside the headlight..is there any way I can take it out or do I need to take the headlight off...also its the driver side one..

i ALMOST done this. I dont think you can get it out without removing the headlight. Well not without wrecking the said bulb.

Do you have kids? My little cousin managed to get a globe out of my headlight a couple years ago.

Failing that, do you live near a school and have a packet of lollies?

[GTRwilson]

Or you could by one of those long arm, bendy claw thingos. Not sure what they're called, theres one around here somewhere, but NFI exactly so cant get a pic sorry.

so is it easy to remove the headlight???

i didnt actually drop the bulb in thankfully so i didnt have to go through your ordeal. Im sure it wouldnt bee too hard, just removing screws ect.

Done the same thing.
Used a SneakyPete.
Long flexible tube with retractable claw
a one end.
Available at all good automotive shops!

Taking the headlight out is easy as

Get a pencil with a piece of Blutak on the end, saves spending money on a grabby claw.

Haha your incouraging him to sit out the front of school with a packet of lollies...

the headlight just comes out by unbolting (or un screwing) some metal screws on it, 2 down the bottom, 2 up the top from memory (i say metal coz the plastic ones are the height adjustments which you dont want to be touching)

Gotta be careful with shoving things down their in case you scratch the inside of the lense

Thanks for the advice guys...I'll try taking out the headlight this weekend..if too much hassle will probably try something else..

I was gonna say the grabby claw thing, saved me many times, The Pencil is a good idea, or a magnet on a stick?
