Urgent: Need help with removing headlight bulb

Hi,

I'm in my garage now trying to change my headlight bulb. So far, I've only managed to remove the battery and unscrew the "special" screw that holds the black cover on. Now, I need to know how to take this thing off. It says to twist it but it's not moving. Also, there is a wire with a socket right next to it and the black cover has pins above and below it so I assume that I can't get the cover off unless I remove that socket. This is where I am stuck. This thing does not want to budge. I'm trying to squeeze the gray socket and pull out but i'm not having any luck. Looking at it closer, I see that it is being held back by some sort of bracket. From what I've read, it shouldn't be this difficult to remove the cover.

What am I doing wrong?

Your replies are much appreciated!

Cheers,
Roshan

Got it, I was trying to pull the plug out when all I had to do was push it aside. The cover was pretty tough to twist as you said, especially with large hands in a small space ;-)
