How the heck do you remove the trunk light bulb?

I've tried unscrewing it and pushing it in and turning it both directions. That sucker doesn't want to come out.

Thanks for at least responding. I at least got it to not go on by pushing it in and twisting 1/4 turn. I'd prefer to remove the bulb. I just put a new battery in. You don't know how many times I accidentally hit the trunk button on the FOB and it would constantly drain the battery which added to the demise of my previous battery.

It's a 194 bulb, you just pull it straight out.

I can't think of why it's hard normally, but what happened to me once is that I accidentally pushed on the socket and it went up into the hole it's attached to. I ended up removing the rear seats and then the rear stereo panels to gain access to the socket, and I pushed it back into the hole.

BTW, I am jealous your remote is that sensitive. The buttons on my remote were pretty useless and you gotta be within 10 feet for it to work, and even then that's a draw of luck. Yes, I had a new battery in it, and it didn't bother me much since I just use the buttons on the door anyway.
