HI, you would just pull straight down to get the G9 bulb out. Please note that you should NOT touch the new bulbs with your bare hands. Use a cloth or towel so that you do not get oils on the bulbs or they will not last as long or burn out quickly. thanks

I'm sorry to say this it is not as simple as this. You need a special tool to remove the metal housing that keeps the glass bulb cover in place. Then you remove two small screws to release the bulb cover itself, and then you can pull out the light bulbs.
