Quarter turn/twist and pull out (lefty loosey, righty tighty). Just an FYI, the parking lights are the most difficult to get to and most difficult to put back in (cuz it's hard to see). I suggest doing this during the day with some good light (to make things easier). Doing it by feel is not very fun.

It's not that delicate. The wedge holder just pulls straight out, twist it back and forth a little while you pull in case it's stuck. It's a little easier if you remove the high-beam lamp first. That's how mine was.
