Thanks to all that replied - Easier than I ever imagined. Once you
know the trick, it's quite easy.

At first the bulb would turn, but it didn't come out easily. Since I
wasn't sure what I was looking for, I was initially hesitant whether it
was really the bulb, until you described it. That gave me confidence
to pry it a little harder with the screwdriver. It then freed very easily.

Thanks again to all. Saved me some $$.
