2006 bulb replacement - parking light?

I have a burned out bulb in my FIT. It is one of those small lights just above the left headlight. I am not sure what it is called because when I search "parking light" the posts seem to refer another set of lights that are accessed through the wheel well?

I found I have to remove a plastic shield under the left side of the hood and can barely fit my hand back in the space to where the bulb is. I don't want to break it, can't see it, and am not sure if I pull it straight, turn counter-clockwise, or clockwise. I lightly tried all of these and it didn't come off. I will try harder if someone can let me know the proper way to remove without breaking the fitting.

Turn it counter clockwise then pull it straight out, the holder on the bulb is pretty long.
