A portion of the drivers side turn signal socket somehow was damaged. It seems the "tab/handle" portion has been ripped off, making it potentially impossible to remove from the headlight housing in a conventional way.
Below shows how it looks when looking in from the wheel well. I also posted a picture of what the socket is supposed to look like when removed. The silver/grey portion with the handle is what is missing as you can probably see.
Has anyone else ever had this issue or know of a thread that talks about it. I am planning on buying a new socket and removing the wheel and hopefully getting in there with some sort of tool to forcefully remove whats left of the socket/bulb, and then replacing it with the new socket.
