turn signal bulb

I can't get the bulb out of the socket on my 70. I am assuming it comes out from the front. Is this correct? I can get the bulb to turn one quarter inch each way but that is all. I thought we use to have to twist and push to unlock bulb but that isn't working. Feeling kind of foolish not being able to change a simple bulb.

Re: turn signal bulb

Hey Brother! Might be corroded into the socket. Get some PB Blaster and lube it up good and let it sit for an hour. Then work it slowly back and forth in the socket. But you're correct - should push in and turn a bit counter clockwise to come out. When I replace any of the bulbs I always grease the base of the bulb up with lithium grease to prevent this in the future.
Merry Christmas!
