Bake open your headlights, separate the headlight lens from the housing, and there's a single screw that holds it in.
Go to HIDPlanet.com. The forums there should have a DIY for you

Yep the only way to remove it is taking the headlight apart. You can unscrew the shield from the back side of the headlight without taking it apart, but you cant pull it out.

Did you fix it?
I never heard to remove the reflector either :/
im not sure if i understand correctly?
-Are you saying the clip that holds the hid bulb doesnt close/hook properly?
-The HID bulb hits the reflector?
1- Maybe wrong H? Bulb for your headlight? Should be H4? For stock/oem styleheadlight. H1? for projectors headlights. ( sorry cant remember.) Check the box or make sure from the person you bought it.
-cause for HID bulb to hit reflector?
For clip not closing propely.
Make sure its not damage or bent and closes properly without bulb. (if it helps to clarify the clip for the bulb works)
Then...
2- Try turning the hid bulb. The bulb only sits properly one way when the three prongz are in the right slots so it fits properly so the clip will close easier.
