Default Simple Headlight question

I lost my owners manual and have to change one of my head light bulbs. I got under the hood and it is not seeming to pull our twist out. I do not want to force it and risk breaking it. Is there anything special I have to do to replace this bulb?

There is a metal clip the holds it in. Try on the drivers side first since its easier to see. The clip is a V shape then bends into a hook. The best way I found to unlatch the clip is to put your thumb in between the V and push to the right, it should unlatch and hinge up. Then just pull the plug out from the light then grab the back of the light and it should come out without much force.

As noted above by Romio, there is a metal clip holding the bulb in. It is V shaped with the hinged part at the top of the head lamp and the held in place by hook at the bottom. Best suggestion...get a small mirror, look at the left side head lamp and you will see the how this clip functions. To remove you push it forward, toward the front of the car, then a little side ways to release it. You will need to remove the electrical connector to get the bulb free (that's where i had issues last week).

I used the mirror trick as well. Once you figure out the first one, the second one goes a lot quicker. Try not to mess too much with the headlamp alignment - it's kinda fragile.
