Default 90 Civic EF Headlight Bulb Install Problem

Hello all,

This probably is the most noobish post I have ever typed in my life.

I've had 3 different EF's before, but this EF's headlight bulb cover is something I've never seen before. It's made out of adamantium...or I'm just a wimp. I'm trying to install new bulbs, and I can't seem to figure out how to get the old ones out.

Here's what it looks like:

Any ideas?

its probably rusted in from not being changed forever...use your grip and try to wiggle out the light bulb at the same time...!!!

Sweet, it worked. It wasn't a matter of wimpiness, I just didn't want to break another part on my EF due to frustration and fists
