Default Help! Light Bulb Replacement.

I just purchased new lenses, seals, and bulbs, but am stuck at the "replace the bulb" activity. Do the H1 bulbs simply pull out, using your fingers? I gave a firm tug and they seem pretty locked in. I'm reluctant to strong arm things, because I doubt if they were designed to be that difficult to remove. What am I missing? TIA

There is a small spring clip that needs to be removed first. Do you see it?

Chris, I sure don't. I'll poke around for it, but if I can't find it, I can wait until we do the bushings

There should be a clip holding the bulb base in the socket. Check this post to see what it should look like. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...headlight+clip

Thanks guys! I'm not going to admit why I didn't see it in the first place...suffice to say the advice and the picture cured me of my stupidity. The new lenses, and new bulbs allow me to actually SEE at night now. This place is great!
