Default Parking lights

I just bought two LED parking lights to replace the little bulbs in the front headlights. Should they just pull right out? I tried to pull them out to change them but it seems like something is holding them in. Any tips? Thanks

The base is a twist base, twist and remove from the housing, then wiggle the bulb out its a T-10 wedge base

Just a heads up.... Don't freak if you notice that one or both glow a bit after you shut the car off.. They will do this since there is still a trace of power. If you search, a user named phd12volt posted a way to stop it. I never bothered since they went out eventually when the car "went to sleep".
