Default Need help removing headlight bulb

Did a search with no yield. I'm trying to replace my lights with an HIS kit. Is there a clip I need to remove before removing the bulbs?

Any help is appreciated.

FP!
Yes, when you remove the rubber cap, look inside and you'll see a spring wire clip that must be pushed to the side and then swung out of the way to release the bulb. It's very easy once you see what to do. Be careful and don't push it too far or it'll come off and is a real bear to get out of the bottom of the housing.

P.S.
I'm workin' on it!

Do you have the service manual FP?

I have an electronic version of it, too big to e-mail. If you have any questions feel free to call me. You have my number I believe, if not Gary has it.......he likes to keep me up late.

Thanks AP, I might take you up it soon, but not today. I gave up on it for now. I don't have the manual.
