replacing brake light bulb
Hey everyone. I have a 2017 G63 and my right brake light bulb went out. I got the bulb and took off the lens cover and per the instructions you " twist bulb counter clockwise and apply pressure" I have tried this and used ALLOT of pressure with fear of shattering bulb and its not budging. has anyone changed these and know any tricks?

Its a regular 1157 bulb. perhaps it was put in wrong the last time so now the notches are stuck. it should be more more than 1-2 lbs of pressure and twist off less than a quarter turn. Try wiggling it while youre doing it
if still no luck, take off the bulb assembly and push it from the backside. two philips screws and entire lamp assembly it comes out.
