Need help

The driver side parking light side marker went out a while back or it was already burned out when I bought the car November 2021. I'm barely getting around in replacing the bulb.

Tried following how Honda explains it in the manual but doesn't even explain how at least for me. Even watched a few vids on YouTube but they all make it look simple which maybe it is but with all the problems this car has given me I wouldn't even be surprised that it is simple in removing to replace the bulb.

Could someone please try to explain to me or if you have a go to vid or source that you could pass along I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance

Twist the plastic light socket counter clockwise to remove. The bulb pushes straight into the socket. To reinstall, push the socket back into the housing, and twist the socket clockwise to lock it in.

The light socket won't twist. Feels (at least for me) that it is stuck. I even started the removal process for the number, but decided against it since I'll have to raise and remove front tires to get to the screw to remove the bumber. I know it's a quick and easy replacement.

You may need some spray lube around the socket first. Then try to twist the socket back and forth until it moves.

Thank you I didn't think about even using some spray lube. I'll have to go to the local hardware/auto parts store and buy and I'll give that a try.
