Default Headlamp removal?

Damn damn damn, changing the indicators to silver bulbs and one of them fell in the lamp assembly. How do you remove the headlamp, is it a bumper off job as it looks or is it easier?

You'll need to remove the bumper. Why don't you try getting the bulb out with some blue tack? Warm it up in your hands and then maybe stick some on the end of a small chop stick or something and try fishing it out. HTH

Use a sledgehammer, its the only way. Either that or try gaffer tap as it's a bit stickier than blue tack.
