How the hell do I remove this bulb from this?

I need to remove this bulb to be able to replace it.

How do I do it? It's one of the 194's on the gauge cluster.

About $ 1.35 from dealer..

Edited for add on..

Maybe I paid $2.50, cant remember.

But most stupid bulb replacement is the cigarette lighter bulb, you buy the whole ring assembly too..I think $17.50. And its got a green **** ring.

Still chasing bulbs ah...same here, just tired of it for a while.

if that is the 194 size bulb you should be able to pull it out. put on a rubber glove or something (for more grip) and give it another go.

where do you live? maybe the camrys there are different.

To answer your question.... A Hammer! A dead blow to be specific. j/k

You should be able to pull it right out. It will take some effort. Don't worry about breaking it. That's the same as the corner lamps I believe. Should come right out.

Squeeze the sides of the clip that are holding it to release pressure on the bulb.

I tried everything. And I mean EVERYTHING.

I believe they just don't come out.

i belive there are two gold clips holding it down on the top of the base part, which you must pull upwards while pulling the bulb out.
