Default Stuck Sealed Beam need to remove ? HELP

I had purchased this car with the old sealed beams on, removed all the sealed beams, and replaced with cibie lenses and the H2 or H4, the one with the problem is the three pringe one. Anyway placed all the new beams on and then one of the beams does not work The low beam driver side, now I cannot get it out of the plug(harness), I do not want to pull hard, but cannot remove(can it be stuck?)
Anyway to remove with hurting harness
Anyone else had this problem?

I had the same problem when I switched out one of my low beam lights. I ended up pulling hard enough that the prongs broke off of the light. it was easy to get the prongs out once broken because you could wiggle it with pliers. If you don't want to reuse the light you might try cutting the prongs so you have room to get pliers on what is left. :cheers:
