Access/Removal parking lamp

Does anyone know how to remove the parking lamp that is located next to the High Beams? I can bearly get my fingers on the plug and cannot find a way to twist the light housing counterclockwise. I tried a needlenose Visegrip but that did not work either.

Regards,'

There is a note in the manual for changing one of the front lamps and it indicates it should be done my the dealer. I don't have the reference but I think it was in the back where it explains all the maintenance detail.
