It's not hard.. Just push it in and move it a little bit it will catch.

I don't have a picture, but just be patient and keep trying different ways and you'll figure it out. I always have trouble putting the clip back in too, its a pain in the ***.

Re: 96-98 headlight bulb replacement (96coupe)
The clips folds out to one side, keep the clip folded out while you position the bulb in the socket, the bulb should not move if in correctly. After securing the bulb in position, fold the clip back over the back of the bulb. Push the clips against the back of the bulb, then when you hit the back, spread the clips and push a lil more at which point the clips should start to find their way into the grooves of the bulbs to secure into place.
The bulbs are easy after you do them once or twice. It's the corner lights that **** me off. I dunno who engineered the corner lights in a way that you gotta take the entire front end off the replace cuz I can't get my hand in there let alone see anything. Unless I'm doing something extremely wrong which is what I've been feeling like.

I'm trying to put the bulb back in. WOW i worked on it for a hour or more with no luck. I'm not sure if you put the clip in first some how or you wrap the clip around the bulb then snap it in somehow? I wish there was a better diagram. I'm so lost and surprised the bulb isn't broken!

HAHAHA....i hate those damn clips! Yeah, all i can say is just be patient. The clips should take quite a bit of pressure to put back into place, but if you feel your thumbs/fingers in extreme pain, then you're pushing too hard in the wrong direction.....I don't remeber any screws though.

The bulb is keyed to go in correctly. The clip will snap in place with a little pressure once you have the in properly.
