Hey I was trying to swap out my stock front turn signal bulbs for some silverstars (which by the way is a _____ to do), and turns out I bought the wrong bulb size; the silverstar bulb didnt click in correctly and I ended up dropping it into the bay. I think I can get it if I take out the lower grille. But I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I searched and everything I found just said "pop it out." I gave it a tug but it didn't want to come out.

Also, what is the correct bulb size? all it says in the manual is "wedge base bulb."

 

kick it REALLY hard. hehe but seriously, it goes inwards towards the engine. not pull towards the front.

 

Aha! thanks. any idea about the bulb size?

 

turn signals as in the ones towards the middle? the small amber colored bulbs? those are.. 7440 i think?

 

those are the ones thanks.

 

you do not have to remove the lower grill to replace the turn signals, if you do then you won't be able to reach them.

 

re-read my original post

 

i know it's about the bulbs, but i am also referring to the topic 7440 is the turn signal, 194 for parking lights and side marker, 9006 for low beam, and 9005 for high beam there all bulbs that go in our headlight housing.

Edit:as for removing the lower grill, just becareful not to bent the clips from the bumper.

 

thanks, but I cant get it out anyway lol. I pushed and pushed, but I'm worried about breaking it so I didn't kick it or anything. I dunno, I guess I'll just try to retrieve the bulb when I take off my bumper to install my CAI or something

 

can you see where the bulb landed? is it on top of that little piece of underbody that's connected to the bumper? if so, i would just get under and punch that part so the bulb will jump around and maybe it'll get into an easier-to-reach place, or even fall out.

 

Just remove the 2 bottom pieces at the bottom of the engine compartment, those open everything under the bay up and you would most likely pull it out or be able to reach it there.

 

It fell to the left of the radiator between the side of the radiator and some bracket. I really cant imagine a worse plase for it to have fallen lol.

 

i couldnt get mine out, so i had other people do it :D
