Had a hard time replacing mine as well. It's tough to get my fingers into the housing to turn the bulb retainer socket.

Here's a tip. I made a "tool" that is a piece of wood about two inches long that works great. Take the new bulb out of the package and use it as a guide. Screw two drywall screws or other kind of available screws into the wood the distance of the bulb base. Use it as a spanner wrench or extended fingers to twist the old bulb out of the bayonet housing in the headlight back.

Works great.

Jim
