Headlight parking light cover popped out

Postby kingjooz » Fri Apr 25, 2014 12:44 pm

Hi,
A few days ago i bought LED parking lights for the 09 lancer. I tried fitting it in but the harness wont twist in, so i put a bit of pressure, and then the parking light cover popped out and now is inside of the headlight. Is there anyway to get it out? Would taking out the lens be difficult?
Thanks,

Ouch, I'm guessing some tweezers won't help? I remember it was a pretty tight fit

That sounded wrong..

Anyways, worse case scenario you'll need a heat gun and plenty of patience and pop that lense open :(

Remove the headlight. Try and line the cover up to its original position the thread some 6 pound fishing line around the clip and pull it into place then the fishing line is thin enough to pull out. That's how I fixed mine when it happened
