Headlight problem
My right side main headlight bulb will not turn on. It used to do that before, but would come on if you tapped the lens. Now, it won't. The bulb was replaced, and it made no difference. I am trying to remove the bulb, but when I pull, it seems to want to pull the spade connector with it, instead of just coming out.
What should I attempt next?

Which bulb are you trying to access? the main Xenon has no metal clip...
This is the black cover you need to remove.
As you can see, there is not a lot of room.

Remove the spring clip, remove the cover.

Twist the Black/Red **** CCW.

Twist the ring CCW. Note the position of the tabs.

The bulb will then be loose. Also note the tabs on the bulb. It just sits in the ring.

This is gonna be tough to do not seeing the actual parts. It's gonna be tough to align all the tabs if you really can't see them all.
good luck
