Default S- type headlight bulb change

I am having some troubles with the change of the headlight bulbs. I remove the plastic cover, then unwind the plastic bit on the back of the headlight itself and I can see the connector for the bulb. I am not sure what to do next. I am afraid I might brake something. A metal clip is visible but I am not sure if I should press it. Any advice is welcome. Also what brand would you reccomend - Philips, Osram or smth else?

Push The Clip, Move It Out Of The Way. Then Pull The Bulb Out. I've Always Liked Phillips But, That's Just My Opinion.

BTW, It's Time You Add Your Car Details To Your Signature. It Helps When We Know What We're Looking At.

Before i push the clip, should I first unplug the connector? As far as I can see this metal clip should be pressed on one side only. Is this correct?

Yes One Side Only. I Don't Think It Matters About The Connector.

Go to your owners manual. All information about changing headlight bulbs is in there.
