Default Noobiest question ever

My passenger side headlight burned out, I bought the replacement bulb, popped the hood and twisted (attempted to, anyway) the back piece to remove the old bulb. Well, I tried and tried and was only able to get the thing to twist a tiny bit. The back piece comes off, however, the bulb is stuck in there. I will try spraying some WD-40 to loosen it but before I do I want to make I am not doing something incredibly dumb and that it is just stuck. So that's my noobiest question ever, am I doing something incredibly dumb (other than posting this for all to see? )

so you basically unplugged it, or removed the rubber cap, and can't get the plastic ring bit off? those things are a pain to get off, at least the 4th gen.

No, I can unplug it but can't get the actual bulb out from the headlight casing
