    Fishing turn bulb out of headlight unit?

    So this happened - the LED turn bulb didn't sit in the socket firmly and jumped out right inside the headlight unit. I'm going to see what I can do with tools I've got, but just to avoid unnecessary effort - is it doable without taking out the whole assembly?

    Do they still produce FWD?

    There are two FWD out of 939 CX5's within 250 miles around NYC Is that just what's left because nobody wants AWD and we'll get more FWD in 2021, or they mostly produce AWD these days?
