Front Parking Light Removal

Hi Folks-I am new to the site, so am not sure if I am posting this in the correct place. Need to replace the front driver's side parking light on my 2004 S. this light is in the clear round enclosure containing amber turn signal and clear parking light inside. Turn signal light was easy to twist and remove. The parking light is really hard to reach. Long story made long-Just wondering if the tiny clear parking light is twist or pull to remove? How do I get it out??!!

pull out the turn signal bulb and harness and stuff it to the side then spray a little wd40 around the parking light and let it soak for a few minuets then twist an pull. mine was a pain in the butt to get out but once i used a little lube it came out real quick.
