What is this bulb and how do I remove it?

[sosodef]

Dear all,

would appreciate your help in identifying what this and how do i replace it with another one. As it won't unscrew clockwise or counter clockwise and doesn't pull out either.

Many thanks,

sosodef

It is either a G9 (230v) or a G4 (12v) lamp. Unless it is a unique part the glass bulb part should wiggle out.

Heat from halogen distorted contacts on lampholder making it stiff, but it should just pull straight out. No turning.
