Hey guys...I'm in the process of upgrading all of my bulbs to LEDs. However, when I removed one of the front lenses off of the parking lamps I found it really difficult to remove the bulb and I didn't want to risk breaking it. It's tough to get my fingers in and around the bulb to twist it...and it's not like I have overly large fingers either. Do you all have a good tip on how to remove these bulbs without breaking? BTW...are they 1157s? Thanks in advance!

The bulbs in the sockets of the turn signals and the back up lights get corroded easily. Other than using a good penetrating oil and let it sit for a bit, it’s just a push and turn. No real trick I’m aware of to get them out. I just expect them to break

Use some dielectric grease on the new ones.
