One of my rear brake/directional bulbs appears to be blown, but I can not get the bulb out of the socket after taking off the lens. It appears to be a usual car 11257, but pushing and twisting does not work. I can wiggle the bulb. I am at a loss.

My rear lights are " Kaper II L03-0027 Red 4" Stop/Turn/Tail Light" that take a #1157 bulb. Should push and twist unless the glass has come unglued from the base. I replaced the whole light for $12 from Amazon as the lense was cloudy anyway.

Hmm mine turns a little, but does not come out.
Do you have the Amazon link to the one you purchased?

So the socket was burnt out, assuming the heat from the engine. So a Rv mechanic replaced the socket. Now I had the other one go out and I ordered two replacement lenses and I replaced the reflective and socket with one of the new ones as replacing just the bulb did not work.
