I'm pretty sure they just twist out, counter clockwise

I turn as hard as I can, but they don't budge. Ideas?

Default Just to confirm, you're talking about the small round bulbs in the back?
That light up the idiot lights?

They should just twist out. The few times I've done it, I had to use pliers and very gently twist them out.

Be careful with those, they're expensive for such a little bulb.
