You don't need to do anything with the white plastic
shroud... just twist the little bulb 90 degrees and
it'll come right out.  (sorry for the info repeat)

Check the foil it pinches against, as this area can
get corroded and nasty - sometimes just twisting it
onto a "clean" area makes things work (and likewise,
try swapping speedo and tach bulbs to help pinpoint
your problem).  These bulbs can (and do) fail
intermittantly, btw.
