Masochist Volvo Engineer...low beam replacement V70-XC70 2004

I can't believe of all people I'm posting this here, but here is goes...for a '04 V70: Has anyone tried to replace their low beam light bulb (H-7)? Not only is it a really tight fit, but the little wire clasp is impossible to re-clasp. I've been at it for 2 hours this morning and can't get it to clasp. Have tried to use a screw driver, the end of a rubber hold-tool, etc. Without the bulb in there, it clasps back perfectly. Once you insert the bulb it is impossible. Anyone with any tricks on this...the ends of my fingers are bruised and bleeding from trying to get the metal wire latched...very painful to even type this. I know the bulb is the right one...it's turned up correctly in the socket too. I don't want to bend the wire, but I'm afraid I might out of frustration...then it will be a trip to the dealer....daymn....Please help.
