On mine the clips actually need to be pushed out and not pinched - can stick a small screwdriver in there to push them out ( maybe one for each)
Try spraying some WD40 where the bulb plugs into the socket. Let it sit a few minutes, then try pilling the bulb out.

I have successfully replaced these bulbs several times. This time I decided to use an LED replacement bulb (same part number but with an XL suffix). The new bulb went in fine and works BUT the computer has not reset regarding the warning message that the right rear turn signal lamp being out. Any ideas?
I haven't had any luck. In fact, after two weeks the led bulbs always burn out. I was told you bed a diode in between the socket, and the bulb.
