Second try at question
I feel like an idiot asking this but, I'd rather ask than break something. I am trying to remove the bulb from my front turn signal on my 1969 Corvette. I assumed that it's just one of those push in and twist bulbs but, as hard as I try the damn thing won't cooperate. Am I wrong in my assumption that the bulb comes out that way? Am I doing something wrong?
I told you it was a stupid question.

I went to Ecklers home page and looked up the bulb in question for you car. From the picture it looks to me like its the standard bulb. Push in and twist. Try using some wd 40 and let it soak for a little while.
good luck

Don't use your bare hands. If you ever had a stuck bulb pop in your hand you know what I mean. I f you need to replace it anyway, twist the glass part out of the metal part. Take a pliers and twist the metal part from the socket. Put in a new bulb with some dielectric grease on it.

I broke the old bulb out and tried to insert the bulb from the other side to make sure I didn't damage anything. I was unable to get the bulb to lock in; I'm hoping I just need new bulbs.
Going to get two new bulbs tomorrow and see what happens.

This isn't a stupid question, the first one was.
