Description of the problem	I have had to replace the head lamps on my 2006 kia spectra multiple times since it's purchase in 2006 but recently the drivers side tail light went out and i replaced the bulb and a week or so later my neighbor told me the passenger side tail light was out so when i proceeded to change the bulb like i did with the other, i couldn't get it to come out, it appeared to be fused to the plastic casing... When i finally got it out and replaced the bulb i went to turn the car on to check that it lit up i noticed that the dashboard lights had gone out and the passengerside parking light...
