Default map light bulbs -how get out

Ok so I want to change out my map light bulbs.
What is the trick to get them out?
They are in tight and don't want to break the bulb getting them out.

I can make my own brake lines but can't get a bulb out. Lol
Pathetic I know.

What is the best trick if u ran into this?
