how do i get the break light bulb out of the socket?

Answer 1

There are basically two designs of bulbs used for that purpose on most cars. One variety has a round base and the other sort of a flat tongue sticking down with the two contacts for the bulb on the outside.

The round base variety you push in on and then turn and then it can be pulled out. The flat tongue variety you simply pull straight out.

Answer 2

Turn the light off. If all the glass has not been removed from the metal end of the bulb, get it away carefully. Try putting your middle and index fingers in a bit of dry cloth and pressing it firmly against the inside of that section of the bulb still screwed in the area. Move your fingers around in the direction you would normally go were you removing an unbroken bulb. If it doesn't come out, perhaps you could try getting a technician to assist you.

Good luck :).

Answer 3

Happened to me once, best way to remove it is with a potato.

Grab a potato cut it in half and press it against the broke bulb, it will embed itself with the bulb then twist.

Make sure you have the power off lol..

Answer 4

Depends on your car. Some cars you push in the bulb and turn for it to pop out. Latte cars have a push in bulb that pulls straight out. If your not sure check with local parts store most will help you for free.
