HELP! Sidelight bulb stuck in housing!

[MaxB]

Went to change my sidelight bulbs and as I pulled the drivers side out the bulb fell out of the connector and fell into the headlight housing! Any advice as to how to get it out or how to take the headlight off of the car? Thank you.

Just to clarify it's a 1.2 MK2

Bumper off, headlight out. Or get fishing with a magnet or pliers

 

[MaxB]

Already tried the fishing so will try bumper off and light out. How would I go about taking the bumper off?

 

[Louis]

2 screws either side then all arch liners bolts and undertray bolts. Not a bad job just a pain if it's not been off before as they all rust.

Okay great thank you, would I need to take the front wheels off or would I be alright leaving them on?

 

[Louis]

Should be fine just rotate the wheels. I'd try with a magnet on a stick too

Okay thank you, not even gonna bother trying to fish it out anymore I'll just take the bumper off. I think the light was slightly too big for the hole as it's an LED so that's why it came off the connector. Will try and fish it out through the dipped beam hole. Thanks for your help
