Quick help please...removing/replacing headlight bulbs

Sorry, did a search and couldn't come up with anything and it's quite dark outside so it's hard to see. I'm coming from accord jdm headlights, but with our headlights, do we have to remove any clips to have the headlight bulb come out? Or do you just twist the headlight and it should pop out? Reason I'm saying is because I took a brief look at it this afternoon and noticed that there were screws around the headlight holder, but wasn't sure if there was anything I needed to do before twisting the bulb and pulling out? Thanks

Pop the wire harness off for the headlights, then turn 45 deg

Those screws are for adjusting the headlight if I'm not mistaken.

But I'm probably mistaken.

Theres adjustment points, and some screws to hold a metal piece that keeps the headlight bulb in and aligned correctly with the headlight so that when you do adjust it it adjusts correctly, so you're not fully mistaken lol

I know there's one access point and dial for vertical headlight aim adjustment, but is there any for horizontal adjustment?
