Bulb fallen inside puddle light

[markjw]

Got a small problem, puddle light was out on one of the mirrors on my Focus Mk3.5 - took the mirror glass out and found the bulb has come out of the holder and is rattling around in the housing - can't find a way of getting it out. Have tried getting hold of it with a pair of tweezers and using blu-tack on the end of a screwdriver but can't get a firm grip on it.

It looks like the puddle light assembly comes out of the mirror (there is a screw at one end) but can't see how you release it - removed the screw and was not able to move it.

Any help welcome before I either end up trying superglue on a screwdriver or having to remove the entire mirror assembly,

Remove the mirror cover.
Inside the top of the mirror casing are 2 tabs hooked into semi-circular lugs.
Push a pair of small screwdrivers into the lugs and lever down carefully then the covers will hinge forward until the seating lugs at the bottom can unhook.

managed to eventually hook it out with some double sided tap on the end of a small allen key

Good effort.
