97 SW2 Parking Light Bulb

I feel very dumb having to ask this question but how do you remove the
front turn signal/parking light bulb from the holder. I squeezed, pried,
pushed, pulled and even tried to rotate but couldn't get it out. I'm
sure it has something to do with the tabs on each side of the bulb but I
don't want to break it.

..I have a 97SL2 and I'll take a stab...

....if you are talking about the amber bulb in the front housing where the
high and lows beams are located, then the bulb holder rotates easily about
1/8 ccw to and you can separate the assembly from the lens. With the bulb
revealed, just pull it gently straight out on its grey plastic holder - I
just tried mine and it came out with a little snap.

 

....I went through heck with some after market hi-beam bulbs/connectors -
they were slightly different in size and the fit was so snug (on just one
unit) that I thought I had the wrong part. And I do my share of breaking
stuff, so I didn't want to force the bulb and break it, so I know what you
mean...

 

Well I just did it and while it was bit tight, but I didn't break anything.
