Right rear bumper light and wire gone!

Not sure if this is a common problem. While installing the rear right bumper light, I dropped the wire and it is gone inside the bumper. I can't find it at all. I thought maybe I will see a wire hanging somewhere and get it with a hook. All I feel is a muffler.

Is there anyway I can reach this wire without removing the whole rear bumper?

Yes just keep reaching up and around in there. You may need to jack up the car to get the right angle and see it from underneath... OR take a metal coat hanger and fish around in there... It happens almost every time I change those lights.

I got it! I used a cloth hanger to get to it, have to angle it just right to get to it. It was hanging right above the muffler.
