Default Pass. Side Parking Light. . . Help Please!!!

My passenger side parking light has burned out. I have a new bulb to replace it. I have been unable to remove the existing bulb. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Any suggestions and instructions are greatly appreciated. :-)

Default I've had four bulbs replaced so I am now on my 5th and 6th bulbs!

3 on one side and one on the other. I spoke with the tech about it today and he said there were really only 2 possibilities: 1. A bad ground is causing the bulb to overheat and burn out or 2. The circuit boards on the headlights are not wired right and need replacing. In the latter case he would order me new headlights since they are sealed units. I know my mods did not make this happen because 2 of the burned out bulbs happened before I opened my lights up. The main pain for me will be opening up a new pair of lights to mod them as well. I hope it is simply a case of hunting down a ground wire...although, new lights would be nice too :-)

Default I figured it out . . .

After monkeying with the bulb holder for a while, I figured out you are supposed to turn the holder clockwise to remove it. It is extremely tight, but I managed to remove it without removing the entire light assembly. I hope this helps anyone who may need it in the future. Thanks for the suggestions.
