Hi everyone

Ok,I know this is stupid question,but I have never had to do this before & I would rather be safe than sorry.My car is a 72 malibu & I think the bulb that is for the oil light has a bad connection or something.When starting the car sometimes The oil light comes on & sometimes it doesn't.I want to see if the bulb is loose or has a bad connection.My question is to get the bulb socket out of the dash,does it just pull out or does it have to turn?I have tried both ways with no luck & do not want to force it.Thanks in advance for your help.

Turn it 1/4 turn counterclock-wise first, then pull it out.
