Lost bulb.. help?

I was replacing my front left turn signal (driver side) and the bulb popped out after placing it inside its location. After a drive, the bulb slid down to the headlight/ parking light area. There is a bulb sitting in my headlights... any suggestions on how to take it out? Or will I have to remove the front bumper, remove the headlight, and basically go through the pain-in-the-*** procedure to do this? Thanks..

You can buy the magentic flexable tool.. and get it that way.. I dont know the exact name of it but it is like a snake looking thing with a magentic tip on it..

Attached is an example of what one of those tools could look like, Sears or any other auto parts store should have it. This is just a crazy suggestion but could you connect a shop vac hose to the opening for that bulb and suck it out??
