Heya. I'm a newb when it comes to cars, but I do own a civic, and I need some help. The socket the brake light bulb its in... it's stuck. Like I cant get it to move at all in order to change the bulb. I have a 2001 civic EX, but its an after market set up.

In short, I need to change the driver side brakelight bulb. Instruction Manual says, quarter turn counter clockwise and the socket should pop right out so I can change the bulb. I can't get this thing to turn to save my life. I have tried to use some force on it, but no luck there, and I'm scared to break it.

Here's a picture. I need the top socket to come out.
