After installing my switchbacks, one of the bulbs fell off when I was driving. Had to spend like 30 minutes superglueing my finger so i can touch the bulb tip to pull it back out. :doh::doh:

Yeah there have been many that had that happen.

Those new LED's are a tight fit and have to be pressed in VERY firmly to fully seat. If it happens again you may try a magnetic pick up tool as it seems like some have had success retrieving the bulb that way.

I got a bendy straw and put some duct tape on the end and fished it out. Took like 3 minutes.

Had this exact same thing happen to me; didn't realize how hard those things had to be seated in there. I went and got some extra long tweezers and was able to grab it.

I still have one of the cheap ebay ones floating around in my housing. Not enough metal on it for my magnet to work. I'm too lazy to fish it out with something sticky.

Probably shouldve thought of tweezers. Its out so its alright. I duct tape the crap out of it just in case.
