Need help with the turn signals

[skiski329]

I noticed that my side marker (the orange strip) was out and order led's to replace both, so that they look simular (2825 is the bulb number). But i can seem to pull off the little thing. there is a tab, and i've been pushing it up and trying to pull to try to get the bulb out and can't seem to get it. I don't want to break that tab, and have marked it up a bit by trying to the the screw driver under it. Has anyone pulled these bulbs? am i supposed to lift up the tab and pull it out or is there another way to get them out.

Also while on the topic of turn signals. I am looking to replace the big one i think it's 2827 based off of the sylvania website. but i can't seem to find any of these on the vled website. i wanted to get the ones that switch back from white to amber. does anyone know what the led equivalent would be?

1) Twist the side marker connection 1/4 turn counter clockwise
2) Pull it straight back
3) Pull the bulb straight out

Its that easy, not sure Im following your problem.

hmmmm. odd. I tried twisting the hell out of it but that did not work. then i noticed a tab and tried to pull that thing up and pull. I guess i'll have to try again, just wanted to make sure there wasn't a hidden tab or something i was missing. i"ll have to take another look over the weekend. in my 08 i pulled the headlights and it was really easy, everything twisted off. idk why this car is giving me trouble.

so. after i pulled out the covers more and got a better view (and referencing my friends 2012) i saw what the problem was. there was a plastic tab over them that should have been taken off while the car was being built. I pulled them off and then was able to twist them off with no problem.

weird! I wonder if mine has these too, I'm looking to replace my signal bulbs soon.

^^ it was weird. but after i looked at my friends 2012 a/c i realized he did not have these. then after i decided to pull them out. they clearly said on the side "REMOVE" it was a break away clip, i just did not want to break it cuz i thought it was suppose to be there.

I don't seem to have these on mine and I drive a 2011!
