 Not trying to be facetious ...Maybe a "carrot"?  ..I've used raw potato on standard light bulbs ...

Thanks and that's what I did with the first bulb. However I do not consider that to be a viable solution and I should not have to break a bulb to remove it, esp. if it is not defective.  I'm thinking about a little rubber funnel or something that will grip the bulb while ai push and turn, but have not come up with the proper tool yet.

I have been struggling with the removal/replacement of the halogen taillight bulbs on my car. I simply cannot get q good enough grip on the bulb to push/turn and remove it from the bayonet socket.  Unlike later cars the glass lens on the 100 is almost flat, the bulb is straight with no shoulder and does not project very far beyond the surface of the receptacle. 

I'm sure there is a trick here--can anyone share it with me?
