Hi,

The driver-side halogen bulb has gone. We can get the clip undone so it comes away from the headlamp unit, and we can loosen the rubber boot but can't take it off till we've disconnected the wire connection, but the wire connector is stuck on . I don't want to apply too much force in the wrong area incase it breaks.

Can someone say if/how i'm going wrong?

Had another go today... it came off with a bit of leverage from a screwdriver.

Although, they dont make the driver-side bulb easy to get to!
