Default 3rd brake lite question?

On my 90 coupe the 3rd brake lite has four bulbs in the lite. One bulb is out. I took the lite apart and the question is does the small bulb pull straight out? I tried to pull it out and it did not come out. I was afraid to yank hard in case I broke the lite. Is there a method to remove these bulbs so I do not break the assembly? It probably is simple so who of my C-4 buddies can help?

The bulb pulls straight out.

The hot tip is to replace them with LEDs (I did) and never deal with dead bulbs again. There was a thread on that about 6 months ago. As I recall the guy bought some LED strips from Harbor Freight that were really cheap (I made my own).

Yeah, Thanks, I was afraid I would break it. I fixed the light. Thanks again.
