If it's a Dreamlight, the info is in this thread: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...lacement-bulbs

Hi Jim,

The bulb is a push against a spring and turn slightly counter-clockwise. Like an old-school brake light bulb. Unfortunately the fit to the socket is really tight and complicated by time & corrosion. If you can get some WD40 up into the socket, this would help. Use a heavy leather glove when removing the bulb . . . because the bulb glass can quite likely break. If it does, a pair of needle nose pliers will probably work.

Thanks Guys,

Not sure how much I want to mess with it at this point since it was to identify it so I could get a spare. Here is a picture of the bulb. It does appear to be like you said Rob, I found a sticker on the socket saying it is a type 1076.

1076 sounds like the correct bulb base. As I recall, the contacts on the bulb are soft solder and the brass contacts of the socket dig into this solder . . . making the bulb even more difficult to turn for removal.

That looks like a 1057 LED replacement bulb.

There are a multitude of replacements out there. As Rob states, the contacts on the bottom can when heated get extra soft and conform to the contacts. I've also had them stick to the side of the socket. You may need to push a little harder to break the connection between the socket and the bulb. It's typically push in and looking into the socket a Counter Clockwise turn to remove, However I have seen a couple that were clockwise. The push in is the key point as you probably know.
