I can pull the socket from the headlight assembly, but I do not know how to take the bulb out from that socket

As you see there are two clips that are holding the but down in between the ridgid line, Just take a flat head and pop it up.

Yeah you can pretty much just wedge it out from side to side or with a flat head, I think I used tweezers.

Stealth bulbs can be bough any where on ebay. Robbio, didnt mean to have you break one of the wedges side. That just how i did it after realizing after about five minutes that was what was holding the bulb down.

Just pull the bulb out of the socket, no tools needed.

Yeah taking those out of the holders was tough. I jammed a screwdriver in the side and it took a while and it warped the sides a little bit, but eventually I got it in. I got mine on ebay as well. I want to get the ones for the rear lights, but I'm not sure how difficult that is. Guess we'll see!

just push down the bulb against the cap, twist and itll pop right off
