Parking Light Install

Ok I'm an idiot.....I've installed my Silverstars and Steath turn signal bulbs up front and on the sides, but can't seem to get the parking light bulbs out to swap for the new bright white ones. Do they just pull out? It almost seems like I'll break the lens before they pulled out. I tried unclipping the wire, but the bulb just stays in in the lens. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...
The Idiot!

Thanks that did it! The DS side I started with was crazy tight. The PS was still tight, but much looser. I think if I had started with the PS I wouldn't have had any question.

Thanks Again,
PredMini

My new "Super Bright White Lights" look more blue than my Silverstars. It's actually a blue bulb with a silver coating. Does anyone know of a replacement bulb that would be closer in color to my Silverstars?
