Ok got some new bulbs, removed the black plastic cover and unplugged the headlight, but how on earth do you remove the retaining clip to get the bulb out?

The driver side light moves. And it's got main beam faulty on the display. Are they likey to be related?

I replaced my main beam yesterday, its an awkward little bugger but fairly easy once you realise how the spring is.
It basically splits into two towards the top and then each prong hooks behind a small protruding piece of metal (you should be able to just about see this with the rubber cover off, its right at the top).
Spring looks like this actually (from the owners manual):

So what I did was get a little mini screwdriver and just unhook each side individually from the sticky out metal and from there on it is pretty easy. The whole 'tilt' thing it mentions in the manually was utterly useless, just unclip each side individually.
Hope this helps (I know its vague, but its quite hard to explain)
