Signal bulb stuck - discovered other problem too.

Been wanting to swap out the ugly orange signal bulbs for a while now and today I finally got my led ones in the mail. Searched around and found several diys on how to do so. Pull back wheel well liner, to gain access to the bulb socket etc.

Upon reaching back there I attempted to turn to plastic bulb holder counter clock wise to unlock it. After my 3rd attempt I broke the small black grab tab... Now I have nothing to grab to unlock the bulb.


Switched to other side and sane problem except I didn't break anything the thing just won't budge! Only turns so far.

Well I decided to take my fog lights out while I'm in there and discovere the previous owner and or dealership paint job. All over spray on lights, sloppy. Have to wet sand them in the morning.

Wondering how I can pull this bulb out to swap any ideas?

Ouch that sucks on the tab part. Not sure what you can do maybe try to twist the cap itself?
