Default License plate light bulb

Which way do you turn to get it off? I tried each direction I could think of but didn't want to force anything. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a short thread. Thanks to whom ever is kind enough to take the time to reply & give me advice.

194 bulbs are wedge bulbs. You dont turn them at all. They snap in, and out.

I figured you meant the socket since the bulb would be very easy to take out. I think the one on the left you have to push away from you if you're looking from the trunk to the front of the car and the one on the right I think you have to pull towards you but I'm not 100% sure.

To loosen, it is counter-clockwise if I remember correctly. Remember to push in a bit so you can turn it easier.
