While pulling on the plug the whole thing came out, retainer spring and all.

To put it back together I could not figure out how to get to spring to work. Working up side down and using a dentist mirror and a flash light found out there are two cast nubs with holes drilled in them for the clip. Something I guess everybody knows because I found no mention of this anywhere. Put the bulb in properly and finally got the clip hooked in and secured. Plugged it in. It took me all afternoon to do this simple job. Since it's impossible to actually see in there I had to do it by feel, like Stevie Wonder would do it.

Tested it out and guess what? No change. Even adjusted using the adjuster **** and still the same Left side low, right side good.

The Good Thing is I am now an esspert on changing out the driver side low beam head lamp bulb.
Watch this video and make sure your bulb is installed the correct way. Hi beam and low beam bulbs are installed differently.
