How the heck do you change out the under hood light bulb?
 

88 LX 5.0...

I've tried every which way to get the blown bulb out underneath the hood without breaking it... Any suggestions?

If the bulb has been in there a long time, it may have corrosion on it. Breaking it may be the only way to remove it. Break the glass and use a screwdriver to turn it.

Unhook the battery so you don't blow the fuse....

Find a piece of rubber hose that you can slip over bulb and will help you turn it and not break it. Can just unplug it there a connector right there for it.
