They are held with retaining rings which are sometimes hard to loosen. I had to use a piece of wood and a small hammer to carefully tap them loose.

And they only turn one way to remove the bulbs. The way to turn is marked on the ring. (counterclockwise) and about 15 degrees. The low beam bulb is different from the high beam bulb so look at the electrical connector to match the slot keys. One slot is low beam, 2 is high beam.

Try just removing the radiator overfill bottle and see if you can get the bulbs off. Also don't get any fingerprints or oil on the bulb. If you do, wipe down with alcohol to get the grease off.
