My Camry is a 2001 sedan (U.S. built) and try as I might, I CANNOT pop that bulb out of the socket. Judging by the replacement bulb, I don't think it's soldered in. It's just tiny and I can't good grip on it. Does anyone have any neat tricks to help me? The saga goes on! D

A shot of WD40 or the like might help. Kep __________________ Often, it's the loose screw between the steering wheel and the driver's seat that needs to be fixed first!
