Changing HID bulbs in C350

Can someone tell me or show me pictures how to take out the HID bulbs?
From what I see, you have to undo a metal clip that you push down towards the ground and pull towards the rear of the housing but I can't do it for some odd reason.

If you have the BiXenons (and from what you're describing I'm guessing you do), you push the two clips inward and they'll pop out. Then you unplug the power to the D1S bulb.

Holy crap, I just figured it out. I can't believe I struggled for an hour on that.
I'm such an idiot.

But huge thanks to you.

No problem :P What lights did you end up replacing them with?

And keep your fingers off the glass part of the bulb. If it's too late, clean the glass with alcohol.

2006 C230 6spd > C300 4Matic

I just picked up an 08 C300 Sport 4Matic after totaling my c230 =[

But I was wondering if the stock HID's are easily replaced, what I mean by that is, where can I find a replacement 8000K bulb, and will it be universal?

Thanks, Mike
