Hey guys, long time reader first time poster.
I got a Civic Hatch (Polished Metal Metallic) about a month ago and am slowly doing cosmetic and performance upgrades to it. One thing that I wanted to change first were the ugly orange side markers. I bought some smoked ones off of ebay and they look to be a direct OEM replacement, however, I need to change the bulbs from clear to amber. Last night I took the screws out of the fender well, popped out the orange lens, removed bulb socket from the wiring harness, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to pull the glass bulb out. Apparently, it's supposed to pull straight out, but I couldn't get it out and I'm worried if I try any harder I'm going to break it. Is there a trick to getting the socket to release the bulb so I can get the amber ones in?
Thanks in advance. Look forward to posting up pics of my ride soon.
Cheers!
