where did it fall??? the turn signal has its own small compartment that isnt that big so you should be able to just take out the bulb harness and then use forceps or pliers to pull it out. this should work unless youre talking about the sidemarker on the headlight

I've done this before. Just put some tape on the end of a pen and pick it out.
