I have been struggling with the removal/replacement of the halogen
taillight bulbs on my car. I simply cannot get q good enough grip on the
bulb to push/turn and remove it from the bayonet socket.  Unlike later cars
the glass lens on the 100 is almost flat, the bulb is straight with no
shoulder and does not project very far beyond the surface of the
receptacle.

I'm sure there is a trick here--can anyone share it with me?

Best--Michael Oritt
