Default replacing courtesy light bulbs

i have two problems.

first, i want to replace the courtesy bulbs on my front doors and in my glovebox.

i'm not sure what type they are though.

in addition, i can't get the front door courtest bulbs out. I pried off the clear plastic lens, but i am competely unable to remove the bulb. how is it done?

I had the same problem the first time I tried it. My friend who did the same thing to his 2k1 GS3 just pulled on them and they came out. I switched the bulbs again about a month later and I just pulled, and they came out pretty easily.

well the problem is theres no metal parts of the bulb exposed. im putting as much force on the glass part as i feel i can without shattering it. i can get it to wiggle a bit, but it is not coming out.
