Hey guys,

i have a 2000 Accord EX. I was changing the passenger-side headlight and i accidentally dropped the old bulb into the air filter intake thing*. Any suggestions on how to get it out/if it'll be catastrophic if i leave it in there?

* i am pretty much car illiterate, learning my way as i go, what i mean by "air filter intake thing" is on the 4 cyl. model, on the passenger side there is a U shaped passage that starts outside behind the headlights, goes down and then up into the air filter and then from the filter into the engine. my old bulb right now is at the bottom of the 'U'.

;\

much thanks guys

 

auto parts stores sell a tool, i can't remember what the name of it is, but they're like mechanical fingers. its about 24 inches long and its made of flexible metal with small finger like things at the end that open when you push on the top, it costs like 10 bucks and should work like a charm.
