More headlight help

Hi all, looked up a few guides here but having issues in removing my headlight bulb. I'm twisting and pulling and nothing's budging. What part exactly is meant to twist, and what bit do I grip? Cheers

If your monte de module has the same clip as my se, The bulb twists with the connector on the back.

As your facing the front of your car, (with the bulb facing you) you want to put your hand in and turn it clockwise. It might be stiff if its not been out before.

Sorry, I meant actually taking the bulb off the holder. I can get the cap off the back of the headlight unit, and the black connector with the bulb visible. It's removing the bulb after that I can't work out

The round plug that the wires fit into is the part you need to twist, I think it's anticlockwise to remove and vice versa.

It should only be a quarter turn with very little resistance and the same for refitting.

I've just replaced a headlight bulb in a friend's Fiesta Zetec S with projector lights and that was exactly the same, if your having difficulty then you may be trying to twist the wrong part but not sure on this.

Sorry, if it's just the bulb then it should just pull out, you may need to jiggle it a little bit but it should come out with ease.

The h7 bulb simply pulls off the metal clip and connector. It is abit stiff though.

The metal clip stays on the electrical connector and has no need to come off.

The round plug that the wires fit into is the part you need to twist, I think it's anticlockwise to remove and vice versa.

Always awkward trying to describe which way your looking at it isnt it haha

Aye, it's the same when I have my bike racks on the roof, one side you have to twist blind and I never remember which way it is to turn.

Got it, cheers for the help. Yeah it just needed pulled out but was so stiff with so little movement I assumed I was doing something wrong.
