Interior rear footwell lights

I have one rear interior footwell light out and am unsure how to remove I don’t want to force
it I am sure if it comes out in one piece or just the lens. And I can’t find any info

This is the light/bulb I need to replace

Carefully pry loose from front (not socket side) preferably using plastic wedge. MB bulb part # 000000000853 (12V-5W) will also provide aftermarket choices. If needed socket is 2218250382.

Now that I know how it comes off, it was a piece of cake! Only problem is it apparently is not the bulb... What are the odds?

Isolated to one door check socket, wiring behind door panel, and harness routed through bellows between door & b-pillar.

No issues with my battery, just annoying that the one light doesn't work. I was sure it was the bulb!
