Need help!

Ok, so I got my Reptisun 10.0s in today, and i can't get the old bulb out of Iksar's fixture. It is an aquarium strip light, like an aqueon or something. It doesn't say which kind. I have never tried to replace one before. The fixture and light were given to me. The bulb wont turn. How much pressure should I put on this thing? Am I doing something wrong? Sorry, I know this is a weird post. I just hope someone on here can help me get this old bulb out. :?

Just ask hubby and he says... There are a couple of diferent ways lights can go in. One is to push in on one end, releasing the other, therefore removing the bulb. The other is the screw in on, from the sound of it, it is only a partial turn. He also said you shouldn't have to put a lot of pressure on it, becareful not to break it. It should spin pretty easy, if that is how it is removed.
Hope this helps. God luck with getting your bulb in.
