Having trouble replacing the turn signal bulbs

[Frankkao14]

Hey all,

I know the instructions are easy,

1. Locate the bulb
2. Twist counter lock wise to remove the bulb


But I have trouble twisting all the way to pull out the bulb.

Somehow it feels like it stops turning after a quarter turn and I can't twist anymore and the bulb won't come out....

Any info will be appreciated

Instead of continuing to try to twist the bulb cover/holder counter clockwise...when it stops at the 1/4 turn...pull (or pry) outward on the bulb instead of attempting to continue twisting. It may be slightly ceased due to dirt/dust/grime and need some gentle persuasion. If enough space develops pry with a flat head screwdriver to help push it outward.

If the bulb holder is like all of the bulb holders on my BMWs...there is usually 2 - 4 tabs that secure the bulb holder...and it only takes a 1/4 turn to lock/unlock the holder...then you pull the holder out.

If it looks like this...then there is another tab that prevents it from being able to turn 360°:

{cover/lid/holder}
