Help quick!! HId bulb removal

I am currently trying to remove my driver side hid bulb as of right now. I have already took out the cover and the piece that is attached to to bulb itself, but I cannot seem to pull out the clip. I suppose to remove this clip with a screw driver ? or you can just un clip this thing? Please help, my first time messing with hids. Thanks in advance.

the clip you need to push it towards the side sort of like a safetypin.

Thank you, I have just figured it out right before your reply. I was just about to unscrew the damn thing, thanks again. Oh yeah, just replaced the oems with 6000k's, not to shabby.

Also I was reading about the hid removal thread and I knew that there was a retainer clip but the person never stated that you just push pins back and the bulb comes out. Well hope this helps the next person in line.

basically you push you finger it and then push it out away from the middle.

basically how you open a safety pin.

Hows the light output?
it hasnt burned in yet right it looks dim?
i'm wondering if my bulbs are normal or bad.
