removing the parking lights

I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything. How do I get the parking lights out (the white lights next to the turn signals)? With the bonnet open I can reach my hand down in there and feel the backing of the bulb assemby. I disconnected the wire that goes to the blub, but I can't seem to pull out the plastic piece that hold the blub in place. Does it pull straight out or do you twist it out?

Thanks for the help.

Open the bonnet, twist the bulb holder and remove it. push and twist the bulbs counterclockwise to remove, reverse the process to reassemble and you're done.

It should be in your owners manual too. If I recall correctly.
