Replacing Head Lamp

I have pulled the driver side head lamp unit, wires and all, and need to replace the bulb. I think all I need to do is simply pull the bulb out, but it is being a bit of a bear and want to make sure that I am not going to break the thing! So, the question is, do I just simply pull the bulb straight out, or is there some other trick? Sorry for being dense, but I would rather be safe than sorry! Thanks...

you just push down the little bar tab deal and push to the side and then pull the bulb out.
