How to replace a light bulb in ceiling light

Puzzling light

So I have those lights out of which most lightbulbs burned down, thus I want to replace them. Problem is that I have no idea how to get to them, tried to pull down the entire thing – but that just pulls down the entire "socket", tried to pry the "metal rim" with a flat top but that also didn't seem right, and I didn't want to possibly ruin it so I gave up.

Any ideas on how to get in and replace the bulbs? Also what type of bulb may it be so I can order replacements?

That looks like an old school can/recessed light which utilized flood light style bulbs. You should be able to apply slight pressure with your finger tips while turning counter clockwise to loosen/remove the bulb.
