Answer
Hi Jeff,

Usually the bulbs just push in and pull straight out of the holders.
Just wiggle it a bit and pull, the bulb should come
out unless it is very tight. The base is just
wires bent around the glass bulb end.

The bulb holders are the type that turn slightly and then pull out.
The bulbs just pull straight out of the holders
Hope I didn't confuse you!!
