[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 380151, member: 432"] If the bulb refuses to come out easily, I would bet that your problem is right there. The contacts inside the socket may have been installed incorrectly at the factory and the bulb was jammed into its socket to make it fit. You have to get the bulb out. I have had to break the bulbs and use pliers to twist the base out of the socket on many occasions. When you pull on the wires going into back side of the socket they should have a small amount of spring to them. There is a spring inside the socket to keep tension on the contacts. The spring may have bound up inside. [/QUOTE]
