Default Can somebody please help me!!

Ive got the car jacked up, wheel off and access flap taken off....im trying to change my lowbeam and DRL bulbs and i cant figure out to take either of them out. Im doing what the manual says and its not working. Do i just simply pull the square piece of the HID bulb straight back or is there something else i have to do. And as far as the DRL im trying to twist it counter-clockwise, easier said than done....please anybody help me figure this out!

The low beam and DRL both twist counter clockwise. The DRL has a tab that you have to push in to get it by the stop post. The Low Beam pulls right out just make sure you have enough slack in the wire to get it out.

The HID on the other hand has 2 T-15 Torx Screws holding in the housing that have to be removed.

Remember to wipe each bulb off very good before installing. Don't want no fingure prints on the bulbs to cause early burn out.
