It might seem tight and you might be scared to break the bulb, but it will come off. Just don't snap it in a quick and forceful manner. Gently wiggle the bulb side to side while pulling outwards:

Hope this helps anyone to be more confident that they can change the Turning signal by themselves.
Hopefully I can update this thread when my Hyper White H7 day running light comes. I'll also do one for the parking lights.
If I forgot anything, please don't hesitate to correct me.
PS: Someone said you can do this without jacking the car up and removing the tires by just turning the wheels inwards. I tried that and the space was nearly impossible to work with.

I wasn't going to post these last pics just in case some people just want to change out a burnt bulb with OEM bulbs.
Plus, these clear LED amber one that I installed blinks too quickly, you need some kind of registers to make it blink normally.
Second picture is with clear LED that turns amber when blinking. The third picture is the before picture with the orange OEM bulb.

At first, the H7 area looks a little scary and complicated. But once you find out how to open it to get to the bulb, you will be amazed how easy it is.
Here is a close up picture of the H7 area. Instruction is pasted on the picture:
