headlamp bulb, twist out or pull out? Help!

Hey guys, I am asking a very stupid question here, but I am stumped. Have to replace my headlamp bulb and cannot get the old one out. I have disconnected the pigtail and unscrewed the white wheel that holds the bulb in place. I have tried to twist and/or pull the connector out and it will not budge at all.

I did try the same thing on the other side and same thing. Is there some trick or twist I am missing here?

Thanks much.

Just pull if it is like my 92. There is a "O" ring that might be a bit stuck...

Ive pulled on the dang thing until I broke the plastic, I dont understand why it wont come out. I think I am going to have to replace the whole headlight.

How to remove the headlight?
