Default how to replace front turn signal bulb on 94 coupe

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but need an answer.
I managed to get the quarter turn socket out to gain access to the orange coloured bulb but the bulb doesn't seem to want to turn.
Is there a trick?

press down a bit, then turn counterclockwise. it's possible you may need a penetrant (solvent) to break it loose. that's why the parts stores sell bulb grease.

In there is the factory grease and it has play dough consistency. Like Gregg said, push. twist and pull.

Thanks for your help guys!
I didn't know you had to push them in.
Hopefully these are a common bulb.

Speaking of turn signals.....My fog lights on my 1995 coupe are not much brighter than my parking lights.......is it possible to install brighter bulbs that can actually do the job of real fog lights instead of the just cosmetic look my factory installed fog lights provide???
