I twist them with pliers.

If you use pliers, use a shop towel around the lamp, since it is plastic.

Mine were VERY tight, but i was able to just twist them out with my hands. They will only twist one way, so be careful with the pliers.

pull and wiggle it out with your fingers. If the socket is melted you should get a new one.
