I was replacing my low beam bulb and I hit a snag. When I removed the spring clip before removing the bulb, the spring clip popped completely out. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put it back in.
Just for the record, IMHO anyway, this isn't the "easy" little replacement job that it appears from the manual's directions. I have normal sized hands, and I can barely squeeze one hand into the area, and then I can't see what I'm doing. Removing the cover and then the plug is no big deal. But getting this spring put back seems all but impossible without two hands and being able to see it. Any tricks, or have I totally screwed the pooch when the spring popped out? It seems like a ridiculous thing to take to the dealer.
EDIT: See below how I solved the problem.
