Bang on it with your hand....Most of the time it isnt a bad bulb, just a bad connection....Use a wedge and pry it out....I cant remember but I think you pry it out from the front......or it could be the back..

I was wondering if there was any other tricks to prying the side marker out, I too tried with a screw driver, but it won't budge. Plus the screwdriver is scratching the car a little too much, any advice?
