Can't take out low beam bulb - 2007 e550

Hello,

I tried to replace the low beam bulb on my Mercedes and was unsuccessful. I took of the cover and I tried to turn the socket counterclockwise and it would not move. I have looked at other videos and it seems that I do not need to use too much force to turn it.
Any thoughts of how to replace the bulb? I don't want to go to the dealer to pay someone to do that for me.

Thanks,
Robert

If you are talking about the Xenon bulb it is used in both low and high-beam modes using a "shutter" that is raised and lowered in the assembly; there is also a separate high-beam bulb in the next assembly over.
