Default 07 Accord headlight help

Hey guys, I'm new here, second post now lol, just put this on another section so forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I'm trying to change the passenger side highlight bulb in my 07 Accord and for the life of me cannot get the bastard to pop out. I've removed those 2 clips, pulled back the wall, but I cannot turn that damn bulb at all. Any advise? I've been seriously trying for an hour, and it looks like I'm a damn druggie with all the red marks on my arm/wrist from reaching in there lol.

  1. Do you already have the owner's manual instructions?
  2. It shouldn't make too much difference; but, is this a 4 or 6 cylinder?
  3. Have you already unplug the electrical connector from the bulb?
  4. Are you twisting counter-clockwise?
  5. A little WD-40 may help.
  6. If it is too tight, give it a little twist clockwise, then try to loosen it counter-clockwise. Sometimes if things are tight, a movement in the opposite direction helps loosen things, then you can proceed in the correct direction to loosen.
  7. Try wearing a glove to give your hand a little more grip.
Btw: You can delete the other post in the DIY section.
