Does anyone have any good tips for getting a broken light bulb (just the metal part) out of a bicycle headlight? Thanks for your help.

The glass is broken totally off, so how would a potato help? Am I misunderstanding?

Hello again Deb,

Thanks for your response.

Needle nose pliers technique fine if edge of bulb base is above socket. If not, it is ticklish as can damage socket.

If glass filament stem yet present potato a viable option.

If filament stem absent screw extractor can do the job -
