Can't remove 2-pin CFL bulbs
I have a bathroom fixture that has 2 separate 2-pin CFL bulbs, 13W/2700K. They've both finally burned out and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to remove them. They seem locked solid in there - the only thing moving is the glass tubing, and I know that's not good.
Any advice? Is there a standard release mechanism for 2 pin bulbs? Its tough to shave in the dark. Thanks!

almost all the CFL two and 4 pin verison is always the same just pull it out like plug but in case it bother ya just get a small screw driver you will see the lamp base and socket and wiggle a little it will come out straght
make sure the power is off before you start removeing the lamp[s]
there are few CFL do have a clip to hole the lamp socket to hold it frim so just kinda give you a head up with it
