Clearance lights

[cdrobny]

I have a 2014 Solitude and one of the top small round clearance lights went out. I purchased a replacement light and when I was getting ready to install it I snipped the wires at the burnt out light to butt splice the new one and when I did both wires sucked back in the hole in the nose cone and I cannot retrieve them through the small hole. Can I go through the panels in the bedroom closet to access the upper part of the nose cone to get to the wires?

Welcome to the forum. Dang - that's a shame. One thing you might consider is using a borescope in the original hole to see if you can locate the wires. If you can find where they are located you may be able to use a flexible grabber to get a grip on them. I'm going to put a link below to the borescope I use which works well and is reasonably priced.

Now, a tip for anyone doing this project or something similar such as replacing the V-lights on the front cap. Only cut and splice one wire at a time. This will keep the wires from falling back into the cap.

I hope this helps you:
