From what I recall when I replaced mine, the bulb just pulls out, no turning. The metal cap with connector turns but the bulb should come straight out. I would give it a gentle pull, it is probably just baked in...

Ah yes, there is the spring clip that comes across the back of the bulb that holds it in. Sorry, I forgot to mention it...
