Got everything out OK so that I can grip the 4114 type bulb to remove it from the socket. However, it doesn't want to slide out. Looks like there could be a plastic tab on each side that goes into a groove in bulb plastic base.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Mine was kinda melted to the plastic surronding the glass.If I remember I just pulled hard. Might be a good idea to put some dielectric on the new one. I'm glad you are fixing it. So many times they just ignore them I think it adds a lot of safety to driving

you might even have to replace the socket. They get so hot they melt the socket & you cant get the burned out bulb out. There is nothing to hold them in.

Thanks for the info.

Maybe that is what has happened. Got too hot and plastic melted. I'll look at it closer.
