    I have a 2010 Tundra that just blew a front turn signal bulb. The socket is easy enough to remove but how do you remove the bulb from the socket? I see how it is snapped in but I don't want to destroy the socket trying to remove it.

    Ya, they're really in there. Have you tried working it loose by wiggling the base end-to-end? Kind of a left to right with the socket oriented horizontal. I was always worried about the glass of the lamp breaking and slicing up my fingers, so use a rag or gloves that should protect you in case that happens. Fitting a new one can be tricky too, many people don't get the lamp pushed into the fixture far enough and have intermittent issues.
