Default Aftermarket Headlight Problem

Hey guys, so I recently bought a 96 Honda Accord LX about a 3 weeks ago. I wanted to upgrade to the non-HID kit Halogens. (the bulbs that you dont need to upgrade your lights with a HID kit. Anyways, the guy who owned the car before me had put aftermarket lights on the car. So I got the lights off after a few hours and now im having a huge problem with getting the bulbs out. im completely stumped and have no clue as to how to install my new bulbs. I took some pictures so you guys could check it out. In desperate need of help here, thank you.


The light unit as a whole ^^^^^


The bulb im trying to remove ^^^^^^^^


Front of the light case ^^^^^^^

Default headlight problem

either use a heat gun and pry apart headlamp with 2 screwdrivers (recommended) or remove any loose parts and place in oven @ 200 for 15-20 min...... I'd use a Dremel personally, but that bulb looks like its in there pretty good

did you figure out that you just need to unhook the small metal wire/clip and the bulb comes out? you don't need to disassemble the entire headlight to change the bulb.
