the metal clips you have to push in on a little and then move either left or right they are on a hinge then will then flap down

Post a picture.. I am almost positive 02civc is right... you just have to coerce that metal tab until you can move it away... kinda like a child proof medicine bottle, but the only cure is MORE COW BELL BABY!...im retarded

yes he is correct there is a metal ring that you have to sort of push in and down in order for it to release what is holding down the bulb. I swapped mine out last week and it took me a few minutes to figure it out..
good luck
