I'm replacing my amber bulb DRL with LED. I have the bulbs disconnected from their sockets, but I'm stuck or rather the bulbs seem to be extremely hard to remove. Any tips? I don't want to destroy old amber bulbs or sockets Also, question? There is only one bulb per DRL assembly, correct?

your correct and I did the same just had to play with it until I got it out. Worse case will have to cut out and put new in it.

IIRC I shot some WD-40 in and let it soak for a little bit then rock it back and forth. Just make sure to shoot some electrical cleaner in there after to clean out the WD-40.

I was thinking about that! Clean up afterwards, bulb in socket seems dry, that should work. Thanks!
