Pull the bulbs straight out. You may have to twist first....I can't remember????
Be warned though...............some have pulled hard enough to break the tabs off the plastic socket, and then the socket and wiring falls into the door. Then you have to pull the door panel off.

Try using your brain and a small electronic needle nose.

You got the brain part down... As you don't want to remove the door panel.

push in and twist.

be careful and good luck.

if you are referring to the lights in the doors they simply pull straight out...no twisting....just some pressure...

Using both hand index finger turn right and out they should come . I say both hand becuse my finger otherwise wouldn't fit . I change mine this past summer and I had problems too . The only way was with both hands.

If you line it up right, you can swing a sledgehammer into the exterior of your door, the bulb should pop right out.

I suppose this is one of those instances where having big hands is a hindrance rather than a help?

I really don't think you are supposed to twist. It's just a pain in the butt gripping those guys. Using pliers may pop the bulb. Are you willing to break the bulb to get it off? If you're swapping out for a different bulb, you shouldn't mind breaking it.
