Needle nose pliers. Make sure you disconnect the battery.

Tried that and the socket is too small to get the pliers open it just kinda mashed the glass down in further i have tried everything i know of might just have to do without a light in there thanks though for the response.

Tweezers? I've never owned one with an auto so I'm not sure how that bulb is in there.

Tried tweezers also ain't sure what else to do.Its a L37 bulb the kind you just push down in if that gives you any idea.

One of these?

Yes one like that it broke at the bottom where it gets flat and I cant get ahold of filament or anything when i was trying with the needle nose it kinda crushed it down in where you cant get it.

Can you take a picture? I feel like you should be able to pry the pieces out with something.
