Question obout light fixtures

In preparation to upgrade my interior lighting to LED, I pulled off a cover to see which kind of bulb I had. I couldn't figure out how to get the bulb out - tried tugging to the point I thought I'd crush it. It almost looks like there is some kind of socket that plugs in to the fixture, but fiddling with that didn't seem to work out either as I felt like I was forcing something to the point of breakage.

Anyone have this type and know how to extract the bulb?

    Oh heck - the fixture says 921.

    So wiggle and tug.
    Wear gloves or take caution just in case the glass breaks!

    Those look like the same 921 bulbs in my RV. And I too had a devil of a time getting a couple of them out. If you're brave, use a towel or glove to protect your hand and just *tug*.

    Wiggle (gently) and tug.
    I also turned them on to warm them up and then tugged.

    On mine, they eventually came out.

    But I *knew* mine were 921s.

    Yes - my thoughts as well. Pushed with my finger, then the blunt end of utensil. It would not budge.
