Just finished replacing my Angel Eyes on my 05 530i. I removed the headlights to do the install. While re-screwing in the passenger side headlight's torx bolts, the bolt closest to the center of the car, slip and fell down into the headlight cavity somewhere, but I can't locate it???
Any ideas where it would fall to, or how to access it?
Is it Ok to drive if I don't find it? help! thanks in advance

I dropped a small tool at the very same spot and never found it again. I do know where it should be but I don't feel like taking of a million body parts to retreive a 1 dollar part.

I am stumped where the bolt it went.... Any suggestions on where to buy a replacement torx bolt? Is this somethin a local Home Depot would carry?

Because "Erikuva" means exactly "A different picture" in Finnish and I thought someone has a meaning for it
!!So I'm sorry, I just recently read your location on your profile
