alright my drivers side turn signal went out, and i want to replace the bulb. but it seems like the bottom of the bulb is rusted to stupid thing its sitting in. i think im supposed to be able just to twist it right out but i dont want to have to worry about removing a cracked bulb, since its pretty much rusted in its place. any tips on how to get it out?

thannks

wrap like a rag around it so if it does break you don't get cut up, and twist it, if you break it use like pliers or something, I don't think there is a correct way of getting it out.

put some automotive lubricant on it to break the rust? or CLR or something. keep working at it, im sure it will come out eventually

hahah very tough

very challenging.

yes, use a rag so that you dont get cut. if its stubborn, smash it and twist it with some flat pliers.

jesus, some people lack experience.. thats for sure.
