Default Front Side Turn Signal removal

Ok, I am trying to remove the front SIDE turn signal (the one that lights up constant at night). It is wedged in under the lip of the bumper cover. Any way to get it out without breaking that piece of 22 year old plastic???? I can post pics later if you need to see my problem...
Thanks!

You can see that it is under the lip of the bumper cover. No matter which way I turn it, I can't work it out.

Not that there shouldn't be an easy way to get that one out, but isn't that the socket for the white cornering light, rather than the amber sidemarker?

The sidemarker should be the little 194 bulb to the left in the 6th pic....

Then again, I could be wrong...

The white corning light is the one I'm trying to replace. I didn't know what it was called. But I still don't know how to get it out...

The left one is a little awkward to get to but:
1: Press the clip in towards the body of the lamp holder.
2: Turn in direction of arrow (anti-clockwise)
3: Lift gently here with two fingers while lifting out the lamp and then swinging the lamp holder down and out.
