LED stuck in eyebrow
I was attempting to check the LED's in my eyebrows the other day and when I pulled the connector out, the LED stayed in the eyebrow. Any one have a good method to get it out?

This happened to me before. I just stuck the connector back onto the LED and wiggled it until it came free. Worst comest to worst you can use a tweezer?
Also, you can pull three plastic plugs and rigs above the eyebrow to give yourself more room.

use a straw taped to the end of a vacuum. cut the straw at an angle and it should pick it right up.
i have done the same thing if you can't already tell.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I can get the LED half way out with tweezers but it's physically stuck in there. Is there a way to remove the metal piece above the headlight to get more room?

I did the same thing...unfortunately mine seemed to fall down into the light and I wasn't able to get a hold of it. I may have to drag the shop vac and box of straws out today. The only problem is that I did this about a year and 1/2 ago and can't remember for sure which socket it was...lol

I ended up using some needle nose pliers to get them out after using some tweezers to get it as far out as I could.
