Can't change Radio Display Lightbulb I've been following this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWzXaPL8MgQ
But when it comes to the brown part with the lightbulb, I cannot get mine removed. It looks like the tabs might be soldered in but I don't know. I try to turn it from the middle with a flathead, that's the crack you see in the picture. If i try to turn it by gripping the outside, it smashes it. Either way I'm screwed. Is this brown part a GM part # and how much is it. I might just destroy it to get it out

anyone know what the part # for the socket is.. I know the bulb is 16208443 (not sure if that includes socket)
you think it will rotate all the way out even with the solder on the silver tabs?
I managed to bend the tabs up with a flathead screwdriver, got it out. socket part looks pretty beat to crap, will definately want a new one. Dealer is ordering the part above, we'll see if it has both parts or just the bulb tomorrow.

The bulbs comes soldered in to a new brown holder.
The solder is there to attach the bulb to the brown holder. The brown holder is not soldered or anyway attached to the board. Just turn it 90 degrees. The tabs will turn with the holder and the whole thing will fall out.
