Question 2k XK8 NUMBER PLATE LIGHT

License plate lamps - left one works, right doesn’t...
Removing the cover was easy enough (despite the manual advising the dealer has the correct tool and I should take it to Memphis)
BUT
How do you get the bulb out?
Is it a bayonet socket, screw in, or does it just pull out?
Or is there some “trick” I’m missing?

They are supposed to pull out. Same bulb as the front marker light and the side (rear) marker lights (if you have them).

Thanks Jimmy
I couldn’t move the bulb and was afraid I’d break it causing more problems.
Knowing they pull out instead of twisting did the trick.
A little good old electrical tape on it and it came right out...

The bulbs are # 2825
The *special tool* is a small blade slotted screwdriver.
