Quick Q on taking off the marker bulb

Im having a heck of a time trying to take the marker
bulb out of the headlight housing. is that a counter clockwise
twist? I tried pushing in and twist but it's not coming off.

i want to get some superwhites in there...

Please help!

can you gain access to the marker light with the headlight installed or do you have to detach the headlight from the body first ?

The parking light bulbs? They should just twist off and out. Just be gentle and try jiggling them loose. Have you tried taking the housing off the car to take out the bulbs? It may be easier if you havent. If all else fails get some JDM lights

push2 - yep, you were right. just a 1/3 turn ccw and it came out.
i took a pair of pliers this time and gently turned it.

installed PIAA super whites 9007's and polaris bright white (blue
bulb) wedges. dang, the car looks great.
