Does anyone know how to take out the bulb to replace it on one of the swivel lights? I've tried to pull it out but it won't budge and I'm afraid of breaking it.
Anyone?

What year is yours? On mine, you push the bulb in and rotate it counter clockwise and it should just pop out.

Mine is also a 95. So you push the bulb in and turn it clockwise and it'll pop out?

I'm not sure if it's counter clockwise or clockwise, one way or the other. It's a T10 or 194, both are the same.

On mine there is an x indent in the center that you can place a penny or dime in to unscrew it. You push up slightly and undo it with a 1/4 or 1/2 turn. Pretty sure its "threaded" just like a bolt and righty tighty/lefty loosey. Push too hard and it will break so be careful.

T10, 168, and 194 have the same base but are not the same. The wattages are different. Put a higher watt bulb in a spot not designed for the heat and the plastic gets burnt and brittle. You run leds this don't matter. That list is from lowest to highest btw.

Well I pulled mine out of a 94 for my 87 so I didn't know if it was changed for a 2nd gen.
