    Not really sure what you’re asking. Do you have one that went bad and need to replace it?

    It's a proprietary bulb only sold through VLEDs and not easily found on their website. If you contact them they will send you a free replacement providing it's less than 3 years old. The bulb pulls right out by hand or with pliers.

    So I’m just trying to replace it with another switch back bulb if that’s possible. I tried pulling it out and it won’t budge

    Twist and pull, that’s the only way it comes out.

    This are brand new so I’m not sure why it’s giving me a hard time. I’m using my vice grip right now and pulling my hardest lol. Did you twist and pull or just pull straight up?

    My post said twist and pull. You will absolutely have to twist.

    these are new and already need replacing?
