high beam install problems

i know that you need to make a quarter turn to remove the lights but it does not seem to want to rotate any help would be nice.

Both of the bulbs are in now. The driver’s side was more challenging than the passenger; I just need to unscrew the screws a little more. I would love to go to the Houston meeting but I will be out of town through the 17th, I will try to make the next one.

my advice is to keep trying be patient. twist hard! and don't touch the bulbs with your fingers.

I was using the lights today and noticed that they were getting rather hot. Is that normal? I got the OptiBlue high beams.

Ahh...see I guess the manual isn't wong about the screws. The manual states you have to loosen the 3 screws around the bulb to twist it off. Myself & others didn't have to do this. I guess some other cars need to though.
