Not quite right.
After removing cover.
1, unplug wire from bulb, as the wire is through the clip. Use needle nose pliers for gripping socket.
2, pry clip from hook.
3, swing clip out of way. Up for the low beams or down for the high beams.
4, remove bulb.
5, put in new bulb with tab at the bottom for low beams or at the top for the high beams.
6, carefully locate tab in pocket. Most important.
7, reinstall clip.
8, reinstall plug onto bulb.
Reinstall rubber cover.

If a clip does come off, then I found it easier to put a finger tip on one hand over the clip hinge and slide the clip end under the finger tip. You can feel the end of the clip slide into the hinge, do the same with the other end. Tie some cotton or light string on the clip so it dos not get lost easily, remove it when done. If you study the area where the clip goes you can imagine what is happening when you do it without looking.
