Default Just changed boost gauge from VDO to Autometer....need help removing autometer bulb...

I cant seem to get the bulb out of the black plastic socket. It seems its wedged in there pretty good and i cant get a good enough grip to pull it out with my hand....and i also dont want to grip too hard for fear that the bulb will shatter.

Any tips for removing the bulb?? Going to put a red bulb in it, rather than the orangey bulb condom supplied with the gauge.

Default www.egauges.com got the ultra-lite series for about $53US...

I'm in Canada, so i got killed by the duty n stuff.... but it still came out a bit cheaper than what i found it for here.

The one i got is the 4303...shows boost up to 30psi and vac up to 30In Hg. U can do a search and find some pics of it.....or if u want, let me know and i'll go and snap some for you.
