Help, I'm an idiot!
Discussion
Hi all,
Anyone able to help? 2014 astra, my wife says do me a favour and change the daylight running lamp. I'm full of cold, eyes watering the lot but think done I can do that! Simple, not paying Halfords £18 for that! So, seems I need to disconnect the air filter housing to get access, fine, do that, hose disconnected from manifold get to bulb, remove bulb, bulb Halfords give me is wrong size. Get the right bulb, does it go straight in? No! And what happens next? I mange to drop both bulbs down where the air filter house hose connects, inlet? As pictured. Can't reach them with my man sized hands, can just see them down the bottom. Any ideas to get them out? I'm an idiot, should never had done this when not well
