Up to the part of pulling the little bulb out, cannot get any grip to the top of the bulb to pull it out. Any tricks or ideas. Dont want to use pliers will surely break it.......fingers slip right off the top

Got it!!!!!! Here is my trick, will save you some time and thinking ugly thoughts......
Take a small piece of duct tape and place over top of the bulb, use a pair of small pliers sideways (not traditional way because the tip of most pliers has a slick tip at the start which will not grip) they pull right out with little effort
