Applied constant force for about 60 seconds, pulling really hard, and it disconnected. I was afraid that applying such force would shatter the bulb, but it didn't. #newb
Unfortunately, despite changing the bulb, I'm still getting a message alert that states the bulb is burnt out. All of that time and energy down the drain.
So, turns out the repair I had 3 weeks ago to replace the "TPM" for a startup issue had a loose wire that was causing the front turn signal to throw an error.
