a friend of mine did this and to get it out he had to cut a decent sized hole underneath the light to allow it to drop out, he then just replaced the gap with a plastic strip and lots of tape

It's no big deal if you leave it in.

This happened to me many times when I had the OEM headlights. The safest way would be to take the headlight out and shake till the sidelight comes out. But I know that might take some time.
Then I got a long piece of flexible wire, fold it so it can go through the sidelight hole easy and put some good presstick at the end of the wire. Try and get the sidelight to stick to the presstick or try and work the sidelight up to hole in the corner
