Replacing headlights question - Honda Pilot

I am trying to change out the bulbs on an 06 Honda Pilot and the plugs won't come off the bulb. Any ideas on how to loosen that up?

Tried a couple of drops of WD40 in the slots and after a few minutes some wiggling?

use some dielectric bulb grease to prevent future problems.

Remember its meant to be a PULL not a wiggle, so be careful not to split the plug if you do wiggle.

Thanks for the replies.

I couldn't get it out and didn't have any WD40. I was worried that I was going to crack the plastic plug because I was really putting some pressure to get that thing off. Eventually I contacted my local Honda dealership and they said just bring it in and they would take care of it for free. I think they did put some sort of lube to prevent it in the future.
