Update... so the Claw gripper i ordered pictured in another post i made here worked on the second try. Used small tiny piece of a coat hanger, positioned it so the connector side was facing back towards the hole and went in the the claw and snagged it straight through. The rubber weatherproofing piece just take the plastic clip off and push it all the way down to the side for a bit easier access. Put LED bulb back in snug and all is good now.
