I'm trying to replace my license plate bulbs in my aveo I got to the lights but for some stupid reason I can't get the bulbs out. Is there a trick to do this or it is that my bulbs are just in there to tight and I can't get them out

They get stuck from corrosion. If glass breaks try pulling with needle nose pliers. Suggest getting some electrical contact spray cleaner. Will help loosen corrosion. If you are trying to remove the sockets from the light lens, then usually you have to turn it 45 degrees then pull out. Often times the socket gets hot from the bulb and it melts because it is soft plastic/rubber. Then just replace the socket. Just try wiggling it a good bit and WD-40 if needed.
