Need Help - Rear Plate Light Assembly

Hello fellow folks!

In my lack of patience, after completing my interior LED change over, I went and began work on my rear license plat. (freezing rain and night time) So while I should have been under the truck to do it, I just reached in and under and changed the light.

When I went to reattach/reinsert the LED light fell into the housing and now my fingers can't fish it back out.

How can I remove the entire housing, or any nifty tricks I should try to fish her back out.
I tried a search but maybe I've been using the wrong search terms or in my frustrated current state I just fall upon the right post.

Any help would be welcomed with forever love.

Thanks!!

 

Just the bulb fell in?

 

Yah the damn bulb fell into the casing.

 

i think there are just a pair of clips that you pinch then the housing pops out.

 

Located down in behind where I would have twisted out the light itself? or should I look closer from the outside?

 

what about like a coat hanger with tape on the end and try to get the bulb to stick?

 

And I believe you can remove the entire housing by pinching the ends... I think.

 

I'll have to check in the morning about pinching it out - the tape trick didn't work for me. I tried something similar lol.

Even tried swearing at it.

 

Yes, inside the bumper. The housing that the light clocks into should have a clip at the front and back that you pinch and it pushes out from the back side I believe

 

Cool - I'll attempt this way proper day light... lol
Thank you

 

Got it fixed up within minutes this morning. Thanks for the tip on how to remove the housing.

This place is the best.
