Well, thats the point, the lamp can be removed/inserted without modifying the socket. I spent some time trying to destroy the socket with random tools - because this thread told me that it has to be modified, and then my much more handy friend just took the lamp out - he didn't read this thread obviously . Not sure which way to wiggle, try CW/CCW and back/forth.

But, as I said, not sure if "electric problem" lamp will reset (I bought canbus bulbs, but they are too weak, only 5 LEDS). So now I ordered similar lamps with 25 LEDS.
