Default Where do I get this light bulb??

I replaced my driver side door panel today and when I put everything back together I noticed the light on the trim piece by the inside door handle quit working. I pulled it out and it would flash on and off. I thought one of the wires was broken so I started looking and the wires looked fine but the bulb would work and then flicker then quit. Finally it quit all together. I checked the bulb and it was out. The filament is broken. Its a small little bulb and I don't know what the # is or if I can even get it at the autoparts.


Also if I can replace it how do I get it out without breaking it?


Thanks

I broke the first one trying to get it out, theyre in there good so chances are you will break it. If you do you can pull it from the metal inside the light, its in there really good so the light should come out that way.

It will pop out, use a good pair of tweezerz and yank it out by the filament if its broken.

ok I got around to pulling it out yesterday. I broke the bulb (well I didn't break it my father did) That thing was in there good. Once it was broken I tried to pull it out by the filament and that broke off too. I ended up just breaking the bulb up till it all fell out. I'm thinking of swaping out the bulbs with some LEDs so I don't have to mess with this any more.
