Went to replace my bulb (passenger side turn signal) and it fell inside the housing. I've tried everything to get it out. I assume the only way now is to remove the entire assembly and shake the bulb out.

What I've tried:

-Pick-up claw tool (it just ended scratching the inside of the lense)
-Double sided tape on my finger and a screw driver
-Shop-Vac right up to the hole and me pounding on the housing

ARGH! Frustrating!

No YouTube HOW-TO video on removing that housing assembly and peeling back the fender liner, it wasn't super obvious on what I had to take out to remove. Feedback appreciated, otherwise its off to the stealership to have them address. I can see them charging me $250 to remove that stupid assembly just to retrieve my bulb.

You could try one of those little magnetic pick-up tools.

I thought about that, but these LED bulbs appear to be 100% plastic.

I stand corrected. A magnetic pick-up tool did the job! Just enough metal on the "teeth" for the magnet to grab! Wow!
