You have to pull on it. It has a ball and socket type joint

if you do my KS, I'll replace your corner bulbs 50 times over. Once you unscrew it, you'll be able to pull the corner light out like a cm. If you look in from the top, you'll see it connected to one point. That's the ball and socket that ant's talking about. If you have a long flathead you can stick it through the top inbetween the light housing and the fender and stick the flathead into the joint and just push and twist. If I, a freaked out by KS install noob, can do it, than so can you.
