Don't touch the glass part with your fingers or get anything on them when you put them in. Any oils on 'em,(even skin oils), will blow them out in short order.

Thanks DeltaP, I was aware of that .I was looking for any tricks in regards to removing the neadlight housing from the car. I know about the plastic clips . I did change both low beam bulbs . What a poor design to put it politely

I had to replace my G6 headlight and created a video. They are not the easiest bulb to change. Here is a link to the video.
