Guys im an idiot....I was trying to replace the H3 [cornering bulb] and that tiny little pin that attaches it dropped into the blackness of the bottom of the light housing..Any advice would be greatly appreciated! If you look in the hole i think i can see it way down there...Do you think I should leave it and get a new one?? Any thoughts?

i did the same thing, dont worry. I got mine out and the way to doit is like sincshan is saying. Get a long copper wire and attach a strong magnet to the end of it. Make sure the wire and magnet are pretty well held together or you will lose your magnet in that abyss as well. The H3 clip will stick to the magnet, luckly. So just go fishing in that well and you will get the clip and just slowly manuver it out of that tight abyss. It took me a few tries before i was able to pull it out. I was like intially thinking of making another clip since it seemed next to impossible to get it out, but this idea did work. Try it out. Good luck
