I've got the socket and bulb loose, but can't remove the bulb from the socket. It looks like it should twist and then come out. But, I can't get it loose. Help!!!

 

I'm having this same issue. Twisted off rubber protector, unclipped the metal things, took out the socket, pulled the metal backing off, and now I can't get the bulb out. Shouldn't I just be able to twist and pull? What would cause it to stick?

 

The two metal clips should hinge and swing downwards. The bulb should be 100% loose at that point, since those metal clips put pressure against the bulb base.
