Lol..tell ya what, when you find out let Tee know ..we encountered the same issue..that is a deep opening so I am pretty sure it will require a bumper and headlight assembly removal and shake it loose..way more effort than what its worth..it won't hurt anything so let it rest in peace and get a new one

I just about lost my mind and then I thought about it for a minute. I grabbed my telescopic magnet (which fit through the opening ohh so tight) and slid it down in the hole. Whatta ya know, the bulb attached to it and I CAREFULLY pulled it back out 
. Just take your time.This is what I used. Good luck!

So my old led bulb fell in. I did not try the magnet idea, next ti e I take it apart maybe. Anyway I left it in, you cannot see it. For the new bulb I took a little electrical tape and taped the bulb to the socket. Hopefully if these fail I won't lose one.

Did you guys know the computer throws codes when your headlights fail? Turning your lights on and off with the harnesses disconnected throws a recordable event in the computer and the next time they bring up your computer log it will show.
Just thought everyone should know...

WARNING and UPDATE!!!!!
Everyone. After several months of having the 921 bulbs installed, I will need to recommend that you do not install these. Tee and I both have had burned out bulbs and I know in my case it was due to excessive heat. The 921s are 17 watts and there is simple not enough air space to keep these cool..even while driving. My bulb socket plug suffered minimal melting around the edges. So I replaced them today with 194 LEDs from autozone. They are 4 led with wide angle..not near as bright but will work for now. Here are the other sylvania mini bulbs that should fit and associated wattages..again..avoid 921s
Bulbs..
#168 = 4.9watts
#194= 4.6watts
#916=7.3watts
#906=9watts
#921= 17watts
#2825 & 2827=5watts, #922=12.5watts
