Exclamation Big Problem With my LED City Lights

So after reading some posts about the LEDs that match the HIDs, I purchased a set. They came in last night and when I was puting them in, one of the bulbs fell into to headlamp area. (In that little circle). How on earth do I get the bulb out? Please help.

ha... well...

i would first try something like, taking out the bulb for the high beam.. then using a coat hanger or stiff wire with some sturdy tape (duck/duct tape) on the end and try fishing for the bulb...

if that doesn't work, then take the headlight out and shake that thing until it falls out... depending on what type of HID retrofit you are doing, you may need to take out the headlights anyways...
