Headlight bulb removal

how do you take the bulb out of the turn reflector socket. Im talking about taking it out once you have the bulb out the of the headlight, trying to replace it. I don't want to force too hard and slice my fingers open and can't seem to get it out. Also, does anyone else think the search function on the site is completely useless?

You push the connector into the bulb and twist it counter clockwise until it stops, then pull it back.

How do you get to it?
What did you have to remove?

just take the 2 front clips out of the rear well and pull it back. You can reach your hand up and get it. WHen you twist and pull it out, there will be 3 little holes around the base of the bulb. I stuck a paper clip in there and it loosened it(when its unplugged of course)
