Default Bulb Fell Into Headlight Housing!

Piece of krap ebay LED parking light bulb fell out of the socket and into the headlight housing. Not into the front part of the light but down into the bottom part of the housing where I cant see it. Its probably rolling around. I don't know how to get it out without taking out the housing and shaking it out. Or maybe just leave it there even though it annoys me!

Remove the DRL bulb, use a small piece of hose and hook it up to vacuum, and use it to latch onto the bulb and pull it out - sounds easy but its tricky

However if you can't see it that will make it very difficult haha
