    Without destroying your finger tips and/or the switch/socket itself?? These type of sockets most be the most frustrating ones to open... argh!

    Thanks!

    Twist and it will unlock and you can gently pull it out

    U_J,
    Some of the older style have a press-fit rather than a twist lock.
    They have a small ring type indentation inside the Push Button itself and a small ring type extrusion around the body of the Bulb Holder/Switch so pull lightly outward & In a circular motion.

    Best,
