Thumbs up HELP ME..HIDS Install

Anyone have tips on swapping the HIDS? Looked up DIY section but still cant fig it out at all . I left the wheels on during install just had them turned in direction for clear path.

I can feel the lock pin thingy but seem not to get it to latch off the HIDS. Are there 1 or 2 of them holding the HIDS in the socket?

I need help NOOB status!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

There are two metal clips holding onto the bulb. You push in gently and then towards the middle to get the clip off. Do the same for both clips on the bulb and the bulb should be loose to take out.

Here's a guide if you need more help:
