Unhappy Running Light LED issue

Long time no see, YStC! Welp, after replacing a blown HID bulb I noticed there was something fishy going on with my passenger side running light. Can you spot what's wrong? (Besides a dirty headlight)



Yep, my LED fell out INSIDE the headlight housing. Lucky me. Any of you guys have an idea about how to get it out? I was thinking about getting some pipe cleaner and wrapping the end of it with double-sided tape and hoping I can stick on to it. I really don't want to mess with baking the light open. Besides that I'm out of ideas.

Thanks for your help. Hopefully I start posting on here more.

Try taking the amber turn signal light out and seeing what you can do from there maybe a magnet or like u said some double sided tape and pipe cleaner

Is the LED to big to fit back through though....that will be the problem...

Well you have the housing off the car, just shake it in all different directions. I had one side do that and the other side go in between the back and the front (not visible), about 5 minutes of tiring you arms each and they should fall out.
