If you are talking about the 'eyelids', try the passenger side first, easier to get at and you can get a 'feel'.

+1. Twisting the wrong way?

I cannot recall if that is possible. I do recall not knowing if it closed properly after I swapped my bulb on one side of the car and I think it was the freaking driver side since it was so tight!
