bulb stuck in headlight

I have an 06 ss sc and I'm trying to replace a blown bulb (got pulled over three times in 2 days). I got the headlight out but the the bulb doesn't unlock, it just spins. What am I doing wrong?

I've been doing that, ill keep trying. I even used a pair of channels to grab the bulb so I could pull harder as I twisted.

Thanks for the input.

There is a round piece that sits over the bulb and twists to lock into the housing. You have to remove that first to get the bulb out.
