1 of the bulbs that shines on the license tag went out on me. I'm not sure how to pull the bulb or housing out. The 2 screws are the plastic push in type crap and from inside the trunk its a little cramped and they just spin and spin. I'm not sure how to pull the bulb out or if I need to pull the housing without breaking it. Figure I would make a post here before I broke it.

Any tips or info on the proper way to do this.

Pop the trunk, from inside the trunk turn the housing (where the wires go in), counter clockwise until it stops, about a quarter turn and pull out. You don't have to touch those screws.
