Default Swapping speedo bulbs?

Just came to replace a blown bulb on one side of dial.

In advance I bought some 1.2W pea bulbs, but when I came to twisting out the bulb holders from dial back, they (glass bulbs) all appear at least to be 'welded' to their plastic holders.

Do they come apart, or do I replace the whole things

When I changed some of mine I just twisted them a little and pulled them out. Then put the new bulb in and twisted it to lock it back into place

I'm sure I swapped some out on an SC years ago,
twist & remove bulb+ plastic holder
pull out glass bulb,
.......reverse order

As i say today though the plastic and bulb appeared glued together and they all were when I checked them,
I'll take it into to work this week and try again cheers
