Detaching bulb from sidemarker?

Hey guys, so taking the sidemarker out with screwdriver was simple...but then the bulb is still connected and I cant seem to get that out?...is it just plugged in so I just yank it? or is it screwed in so i have to twist it?

I only have like an inch to play with when sidemarkers are off the bumper

anyhelp would be appreciated
thanks!

I believe you twist it to one side and it comes right off.

Just pull on it. Use a rubber glove, it will give you more grip. I just changed mine. The bulb is a 194.

I'm sorry to say but if you can't get a simple bulb out maybe you shouldn't mess with it. Pay the dealer to do it for you. It doesn't take but 2 seconds to take it out and this is like two weeks we are still showing you how to pull out a bulb. Comeon, just yank that thing out. It will come out.
