Angel Eye Standard Bulb Retrofit?

I am planning on driving 900 miles to Houston tomorrow and last night I got the check side light error message. It turned out to be the drivers side angel eye. The bulb holder slid part of the way out when I was working on the car and the bulb melted its self to the housing and burnt out.

I was wondering if anyone had done a quick fix with a normal pin halogen 10w bulb. Possibly like http://m.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Electr...R11/100579816/

I finally got my car mostly fixed and its just going to irritate me if I have one code for a stupid bulb.

I did a little searching, but haven't found much. I was thinking maybe I could copy people's budget LED instal and just wire in a new bulb. Maybe the bulb with a reflector could be glued to the old angel eye bracket. Not sure about high heat glue.

Any suggestions?

Iirc a new halo bulb is like $20. This is if your willing to do the drive with a dead bulb.

That or move up to an LED bulb

My goal was to avoid waiting for a new bulb. Part of me wonders how the bulb was able to melt its own socket. But I might have to.

I tried some different options. The bulb with housing on the left would require a decent amount of modification to fit. If I tried that one I would need to drill out the original bulb holder to let the base pass through. I might also need to cut the front of the angel eye holder to allow the bulb to fit, but I don't know how hot it gets and don't want to risk damaging the headlight. The smaller bulb shows more promise.

The smaller bulb can be had for around $6. And it fits in the bayonet socket. There are only two worry some aspects of using it. The first is that you must bend the prongs to touch the middle pin and outer pin. Second, you must find a way to secure the bulb in the socket. I went for a small drive with the bulb stuck in. It worked ok, but I don't know how well it would stay, and if it fell I don't think it would be easy to get out. No CEL, it appeared to light fine.

So if you are on your way to a photo shoot and your AE burns out, you can bend the prongs and make a standard prong bulb fit. If you aren't on your way to a photo shoot. I would probably just buy it from online.
