Default Footwell Light bulb removal

I feel really dumb asking this. But how in the hell do you get that little bulb out of the footwell. I have been pulling on this little bulb and nothing is happening. Is there something I am missing here?

BTW...I bought some LED's from superbrightleds.com and these bulbs SUCK. They are no where near as bright as the OEM bulbs. I've ordered some PIAA 194 wedge bulbs...hopefully they are better quality.

This is for a GS430.

You have to twist it to get it out. You could also take the plastic panel off, at least for the passenger side not sure about the driver side.

Well you have to twist the socket not the bulb.

I have these being shipped to me hopefully sometime next week. I'll let you guys know.

They look like SMT LEDs which should be much brighter.
