That’s a G4 halogen bulb, you just pull it out. They get quite hot.
It even says G4 on the lamp itself. There also might be glass protecting it held by those little white claws.
Word of advice: when handling the new bulb, DO NOT touch the glass with your bare hands. When the lamp is on, because it gets so hot the oil from your hands can cause it to explode. It’s more of an issue with photography lamps, but the same principle applies here.
If there is glass protecting, push it inwards a bit and turn 1/6 turn to release it. Then pull bulb sideways to get it out.
When inserting new bulb, dont touch bulb glass with bare fingers.
We had those in our previous apartment, they sucked big time and bulbs went out in a few months. Consider changing all those to different model or changing to LED bulb at least.
Remove glass, plug out old bulb, plug in new bulb.
That’s from tony stark
Use gloves when handling the new bulb.
Same thing with most lamps, take the bulb with you and look for a similar thing from a store.
Thanks, everyone. I managed to replace it with an LED bulb. At first, I thought I needed to unscrew it to take the whole thing out 😅 Good that I checked with you all
