Marker Light bulb replacement

Noticed the other day that both front markers on my 68 were off when the headlights were on, rears worked fine and the parking lights up front worked, just no front markers. Bought new bulbs to replace them, but can't figure out how to get the old bulbs out. It seems like they should be able to push and and then twist to come out, but they dont want to push in significantly or twist.

I did check them both for bad grounding being the problem. The passenger marker lit up when I plugged it in and then grounded the housing to the frame. Using the exact same method, the driver's side didn't work. (yes i made sure I have voltage to the marker) The driver bulb is visibly burnt out. I have the lens off of the light I just can't get the dagum bulb out.
