Halogen indicator is stuck

[bucky208]

Hi all,

I'm wondering...

Got some led pwy24w bulbs to replace the only halogen bulb on the car: front indicators (I have the basic eco led headlights.)
However I have no idea how to get the original bulb out. I tried pulling, pushing, turning... anyone got a clue?

Not the only one with this problem:

Sounds like they pull straight out?

Awesome share, i watched a ton of video's and posts but most of that cars had the full led headlights so they were no help to me.
I also tried pulling them with needle nose pliers but the pliers came off quicker than the bulb... Making me think i was doing it all wrong.
Will try again

UPDATE: same result, the plastic chrome reflector will break before that bulb comes out, this is not normal... i give up.

– Remove the socket with the lamp -1- in the direction of
-arrow A-.

Looks like you have to push the tab towards the flat side of the connector then pull the assembly out.

Nowp, don't push and pull it
