Trying to replace my headlight bulb. Got the bottom clip undone and was able to rotate the two tabs clockwise but there are metal tabs on both sides of the bulb that seem to be gripping it and preventing it from coming out. (They can be seen on the left of the bulb in the pic) Is there a trick to releasing these?

 

If you are talking about the wiring plug on the bulb then yes it can be a little tough to remove, I found that the easiest way was to use a small flat blade screwdriver to lever those metal tabs up/off.

 

they are tight on, try to wiggle them out. maybe pry them back a little bit

 

They just act as a big clip. Pull harder.
