    Hi, I keep trying to twist my driver side license plate bulb plug thing. I twist, and it’s very tight, and will not come out the socket. Please help. Thanks

    Woops, wrong thread. I did this and ended up with scratches all over my hands. It's a tight spot. Just have to get it from the right angle.

    If you are following the instructions on page 554 of your manual, the base (socket) can certainly be tight in the fixture. Assuming you are turning lefty loosey, turn harder. Sometimes it helps to push in a bit while turning.

    Once that's out, the bulb, which is a wedge base, just pulls out of the socket.
