Hey all,

Was replacing the front turn signals on the driver side and twisted the bulb too hard, heard a crack, and the socket holding the bulbs cracked and burst into pieces. Now I can't get the bulb out and i might need a new headlamp. Any suggestions? :/

How the hell did you break that, you sure you didn't break the bulb, I'm a little lost I would think its a simple turning back either that or try a clamp or try bringing to the dealer in your case (no offense), not sure you would need a new headlamp. You will pay a lot to fix what you broke. Good luck!

Was turning the socket counter clockwise when i heard a crack, the base where i turned completely fell apart, so now the socket holding the bulb is flat against the case. The bulb still works and the signal still works and everything, but the connection is really loose.

Damn, truthfully I'm not sure this in this case I would go to the stealership.
