Headlight Blub replacement 96 Civic?

[Evolcivic]

I got the plug and boot off, just wondering how I get the bulb out. I can barely see what appears to be a retention wire, but I don't want to break anything. Can someone walk me through this? Much appreciated...

I think you just remove that metal clip and then the bulb will pull straight out. Someone correct me if I am wrong though.

There's a screw with a philips head that keeps the clip retaining the bulb, once you unscrew that, you just have to get the clip out, it shouldn't break unless you really put force on it. Once you get the clip out, pull the bulb out, and if you're going to use the bulb again don't touch the bulb with your fingers since oil will make it overheat and blow. If you do touch it or something else touches it, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

Thanks Guys, Got the passenger one replaced. Now I just have to figure out how to get my big paws in to change the drivers side. The wire clip just released and rotated enough to replace the bulb. Thanks again.
