I had to replace the sidelight indicator after a pigeon strike. IIRC you squeeze the clips to get the bulb to pull straight out - that said ours wasn't LED just a normal bulb?

Hi, they can be tight to turn, best to put pressure on them ie pressing them in towards the light unit while twisting them, then pull out.
