if you already remove the headlight housing, then all you need to do if turn the white/gray circular cover on the back end of the light about 1/4 turn or so and it should pop off. then you should be able to see the back of the bulb which is being held in place by a retaining clip. just unhook that and the bulb should come out after you unplug it. do a search and you should find many pics of this.

On the HID bulbs you do not turn, you just pull the plug. You have to pull with a little strength. Grab the silver base (not the bulb) and pull on the plastic clip.

Thanks guys, I was trying to take the whole housing out and that was not working. Once I saw the bulbs could be taken off by themselves I was good. Never taken apart a headlight before. Now I know how though cause the first one was all the way apart.
