dont twist the bulb, twist the round plastic thing on the actual headlight, it turns about 90 degrees then you can remove the bulb.

btw get those aimed properly so you arent blinding other drivers..... (cough) me

Yeah exactly,,it's going to be hard to turn if its never been out before,,you just have to play with it,,and make sure you're just turning the black plastic thing and not the light socket,,then when its loose,you turn the light socket untill the tabs from the socket line up with the holes on the black plastic thing and it will come out,,I'll try and take a pic or video for you since i have some laying around.

Ok, now, who's gonna make this guy a video on how to wipe his ***? I mean, I would think that if you need help with a headlight bulb, you would most likely need someone to wipe your ***. I mean, it's not even a remotely close to hard bulb to remove. There are many, many worse. I just feel sorry for his clothing drawers.

disclaimer: i didnt actually make a video about *** wipage, i am not a big black man, nor do i need help on how to actually wipe my ***, replace headlight bulbs, or pee standing up. however, the link above is a good source of information, for people who dont know how to wipe said asses, and for girlfriends who use a roll of toilet paper per day.
