Tail-light removal - HELP!

flipmode said:

Sending my tails out to get tinted....I have the three wing nuts off no prob, but the light bulb seems to be connected by two plastic screws that can't be "unscrewed". I don't want to pull something too hard and have it break...it can't be that hard, can it? Any tips to help my learning curve.

Thanks.

I have never tried to remove/change any of the bulbs in 'DESIREE", but after looking at the picture in the owner's manual: first, there does not appear to be any plastic screws that need removal (the instructions do not mention them either), so don't remove any; second, perhaps push in a bit on the socket, then (also according to the owner's manual) twist the socket counter-clockwise (I'd say 45-90 degrees), then pull the socket out of the housing.

Then, as they say, "Installation is the reverse of removal."

Can you say 'semantics'?
