    Can you be more specific? What type of light bulb or fixture? Pictures would be helpful.

    Wow... where to start. Try to explain exactly what you want to do. Do you have temporary lights (called pigtails) that the bulbs are stuck in? Are you trying to take down pigtail assemblies? Not sure what you mean. Explain in more detail exactly what your situation is.

    Trying to remove a pigtail style bulb F13DbBX/23/827/eco 13 watt bulb from outside light fixtures. Do they just pull straight out? There seems to be resistance in them coming out. Is there a special way that they are removed or to you just pull straight down with no special process? There are two plastic tabs at top that do not seem to have anything to do with removing the bulb, one has broke already with trying to remove the bulbs.
