License plate bulb fell in, should I burn the car down?

I decided to be productive on my lunch break today and tried to swap out license plate bulbs. Unfortunately, my beefcake hands suck at this kind of thing and while wiggling the socket into the hole, the bulb came loose and fell into the housing.

 

Is there a way to get it out without using the baseball bat to the trunk method? Now I have red scratches all over my hands from fitting them through the tiny holes inside trunk lid. :lol:

Here are both LED bulbs just hanging out inside the housing. Yup, I said both. The second one fell in too now. :lol:

This is what it looks like inside the trunk lid.

I have a feeling these LED bulbs were the wrong size, which is why I couldn't get the socket to go back in.

Those look like the same leds I replaced mine with, albeit the 5th Gens have a different bulb housing. Mine just barely fit.

 

You'll probably have to pop out the bulb housings and then shake them until the leds fall out.
