How do I replace the parking light?

I am trying to replace my parking lights (which are in the same housing as the turn signal) and I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get these little bulbs out and the new ones in. I can pull the turn signal out and disconnect the wires to the parking light but I can not get the little parking light bulb out! If any of you pros out there can please help me out it would be greatly appreciated. PLEASE HELP!!!

Just twist and out like the turn signal. It can be tight and stubborn the first time you try to remove it. Remove the turn signal first to make more room for your hand. Use pliers to twist if it won't budge.

That worked like a charm. only a couple of cuts before I wised up and put gloves on. It really helps to leave the plug in as well. you really have to give it your muscle but they pop out eventually. I got the leds to match my hids so next will be the fogs, which I know I'll have to remove the wheel well for :(

Thanks a bunch! - eric
