Default Does anyone know how to change "door open" or " seatbelt" Light bulbs?

I have a 93 ls and it seems like all the lights on the dash work, other than those two

I just shipped out my instrument cluster for repair, so I decided to take a look at these too since the halo was out.
I unscrewed the bulb strip and actually saw that the filament was blown in both of the bulbs. okay, problem pinpointed,
BUT now, what kind of bulbs do they use? AND how the hell do I take them out? do i just pull them out? they look like they can be twisted out but its not budging at all...

does ANYONE know how to do this or has done this before?
thanks

Twist the bulb counterclockwise using a screwdriver and pull it out using needlenose pliers or tweezers.

the same type of bulb which you got out from the seat belt.
Take a sample to any auto parts shop to get the same kind of the bulbs!

a 74 bulb, bulb type. most of the bulbs used are bulb type #74 for small lit up areas like the key rings to the doors, ignition, foot lights under the dash, etc.
