Default Dropped HID Bulb in housing

Alright, just like it says, I was putting the bulb back and it slipped and fell inside the housing not the actual lens but the housing itself and I can see it but cant reach any suggestions, and if the dealer anybody know how much it would cost from the dealership.

Clothes hanger with something sticky at the end like sticky putty or a wad of gum?

this. but i say don't use gum, you don't want to accidentally get more stuff in the housing. use some of those 3m double sided tape
