Looks like you just pull it straight off from the white plastic connector (what you're holding onto). Looks to be 1-pronged.

LED will blink faster, that is why you need cambus resistor to correct it ( the voltage drawing is different between the halogen and LED)

If you're still having trouble with this bulb, try wrapping a piece of duct tape around it, then pull. The duct tape will also keep glass from going everywhere if it breaks. In regards to your blinker question, yes, ^^what whitebeast said.

If you want to separate the bulb, DONT PULL IT STRAIGHT OUT!!

there is a pin on each side that bites into the bulb. Just look closer.


It reverse clicks in. You'll need to use something like a paper clip to bend the pin out then you can pull it out.




if you just want to detach the whole bulb assembly from the car wire, just wiggle and pull from the white connector.
