Yeah so one of my bulbs in my driver side high beam is out. I opened it and didnt realize there were two light bulbs. anyways, its the one thats on the bottom. I pulled it out but I cant disconnect the bulb from the outlet. Is there a clip i'm supposed to push or what?

And also, what size are they? The other bulb is H7, but this one im not sure.

Also, I just realized the cap that covers the lights from behind, I dont have one for it. Where can i get one and how much are they?

1 - wear gloves to not leave finger prints on bulbs
2- remove rear dust cap 1/4 turn
3- remove blub socket 1/4 turn
4- press bulb inward in socket while turning 1/4 turn


The blubs are H6W

The amber bulbs can be purchased from www.rockauto.com or www.autohausaz.com

LED blubs can be purchased from Ebay which are a nice upgrade over stock amber:
