Question turn signals?

this is probably gonna sound like a dumb question, but i'm gonna ask anyway... i need to change the turn signal bulb on my 99 Z28. heres the problem. I CAN'T GET THE THING OUT!!! how in the world am i suppose to twist my arm around to get the bulb out? i can barely feel it with my fingers and it seems like it's held in by a little clip because i can feel the "springy" action on it. whats the easiest way to get that thing out and install a new one?

also..is the front signal and the hazard lights 2 totally different bulbs, because the hazrds work fine, but the right front signal is junk.

What bootleg said. . .10mm for the headlights. . .7mm for signal if you need to remove it. . .

Well I have a bird so I don't know how quick it is to just pop out the headlight...but I do have that vent under the signal that I can try and shove my arm through.
