Jack up your car. Get some hex bits. Remove the front wheel. Unbolt the front wheel arch. Retrieve the reflectors. Reverse to everything back together. Remove jack.

you dont even have to jack up your car, turn your wheels and just open the bottom four hex bolts, you'll be fine.

No dude, don't bother with the jack...
Coat hangar a few balled up pieces of duct tape on the end the a fresh one for every attempt. Trust me, this works, I did it... twice. You'll need a flash light though.

+1, i dropped mine inside and rolled up some duct tape and used a flashlight and it came out just fine!!! Much easier than the jack and unscrewing stuff

+1 for this method. Had to do it as well. The worst thing was that when I pulled the hangar out with the reflector it was scratched from the fall.
