Can't remove BRZ HID bulbs?

Hey guys, I bought some replacement hid bulbs for my car and I was trying to replace them, but I can't seem to get the connector off of the bulb. I tried twisting but even with all the force I can muster it doesn't twist off. I got the little sealing cap off of the back of the housing but the silver connector that connects to the actual bulb I just can't pull off. Any tips?

I just replaced HID bulbs on my FRS. It was very easy just like shown below. BRZ should be similar, if not same.

Did you just twist clockwise? I tried as hard as I could and it wasn't budging. Do I need to press in or anything?
