I tried to replace the stock parking light with the LED, But I accidently did not press hard enought, not the light bulb got stuck inside the housing. I want to know if anyone has a tip of how to take the bulb out of the housing without remove the bumper and the headlight unit that is my last plan.

I've done the same thing, and got the following excellent advice on this forum. These instructions assume that you can see the bulb. If it has fallen into an area behind the reflector, then I don't know what to tell you.

Assuming you can see the bulb, you'll need a metal coat hanger and a small amount of duct tape. Wrap the duct tape around the end of the coat hanger with the sticky side facing out. Carefully bend the hanger in a curve that mimics the inside curvature of the headlamp assembly. If you can see the bulb, you'll find that by tapping the housing in various places, you can bounce the bulb into a location that is easier for you to reach with the taped end of the hanger.

When doing this, you'll need to be careful not to touch the tape to the inside of the housing, or the reflector, since you'll leave a sticky residue that will impact visibility. When making contact with the bulb, push hard enough to grab the bulb, and carefully pull the bulb out, taking care not to touch the headlamp with the bulb. If you do, the bulb will fall off, and you'll need to start all over again. When the bulb gets close to the hole, grab it with your fingers, needlenose pliers, or some other device, since it isn't likely that you'll be able to pull the bulb all the way out.

Hope this helps and best of luck.
