try taking off that screw and see what u've got under there.
might be easier to work with it that way.

like i said i'll try it on my civic and let you know, and it took me like 2 seconds to take out the bulb. all you do is pull it out sideways, no clips, nothing, no sore thumbs, no swearing, no hammer.
so yeah hold the bulb lightly and jiggle it a bit and it comes out.

u might be better off getting a led wedge off ebay as i bought a led wedge from autobarn and it had only 2 - 4 leds on it and was very dull (blue light).

got one from ebay, had 9 leds much brighter.
