Shifter bulb replacment

Has anyone had any luck/experience changing the shifter bulb in the center console. It looks like a previous owner had a hard time and gave up. The bulb is broken but the base is left in it. Does it twist out or pull out? Any advise?

#194 bulb, same as the rest of the panel bulbs. Just pushes in, pulls out.

I don't think it's a 194.I believe the one you need is smaller

Yup, 85 to 92 birds use a much smaller but same design bulb.

Does anyone know the bulb. 194 is definitely too big.
