H7 Headlight bulbs stuck in retainer holder?

Hoping for some genuine advice!! I got my 2011 Skoda Fabia 2 months ago now have have just tried to replace the headlight bulbs to brighter ones. Of course it should just be plug in and go however with both bulbs, I cannot seem to get the bulb out of the retainer clip (sorry if thats not the correct word).

Tried what feels like everything but both bulbs will not budge from the clip. Any advice on how to get them out?

(Not my photo as I’ve already closed the bonnet but this is the exact fitting)
