Been too long! How do I remove a burnt out turn signal bulb?

[53ryder]

The left front turn signal on my '65 Dart doesn't work. The other three blink quite nicely. So I figure a burnt out bulb. I remove the amber lense and try to remove the old bulb. But nothing is happening.

If I recall right these old style bulbs don't screw in or out. There's a trick to them but my memory is hazy.

Do I push on the bulb a little bit and turn to the left or to the right? Or am I way off base?

Help!:?

push and turn counter clock wise.
If it breaks use needle nose pliers and
do the same.

The bad light bulb is out and a new one is in! Thanks to mopardude318 and monook!
Knowing the correct direction to get the bulb out was really very helpful (thanks monook)!

Grab it with some gloves or a rag or something especially if the glass is discolored.

I'd also spray it with WD-40 after you take the bulb out just to prevent corrosion and to get the new bulb in easier.
