Went to go change the license plate bulbs on the GP and both just about disintegrated in my hand. Any tips on getting the (remainder) of the bulbs out so I can get them  changed?

With power fully off, needle nose pliers should grab any remaining pieces.

Looks like that bulb holder is itself a clip-in part. You could start by pulling it off so you can access the bulb more easily.

Those are tiny lights. So I suggest a new potato.
