Can't believe the glass bulb doesn't burst.
It's actually a special glass, but being so thin also helps it not break from thermal stress. A short section of 3/4" heater hose can be used to remove a hot bulb (but be sure to catch the bulb with a cloth or something). Oh, and they will break if you get water on them while they are hot.

Yes, the emergency flashers should work with the key off. Should be a brown wire that supplies power to the 3rd fuse all the time, then a purple wire from that fuse to the hazard flasher that is also always hot (unless the fuse is blown).
 
Thanks, looks like I should pull the flasher switch out to be sure I have the connections right. Still blows my mind that those bulbs can get that hot.
