I was able to get the bulb out but had to calm down for a day before I could write up what I did!
It ended up taking me many hours of trial and error and a combination of suggestions
The biggest obstacle was the size of the opening for these reasons:
1) The opening for the bulb is very small so getting a tool in there was difficult and really limited what I could use
2) Once I got a hold of the bulb getting it out was difficult since the bulb rubbed against the opening when coming out. This basically meant any tool used could wrap around it and pull it out.
I ended up using the following:
I used the pliers to line it up straight then used a wood dowel with some washers attached to the end.
I used super glue to lock the washers in place and glue them to the end of the bulb.
Once that set I was able to pull the bulb up to the opening where it once again got stuck
Fortunately I was able to pull just far enough into the opening I was then able to use as screw driver and pry it out
As RedBaron did mention
The interior 'chroming' on light reflectors is usually VERY VERY fragile and can scratch extremely easily.
I did get a few scratches but luckily they are only noticable if you really look in the headlight. I am sure 99% of the other people out there will never notice it
Again thank you for all the suggestions
