I bought silvania silverstar bulbs for my car. I replaced the right headlight bulb. When it comes to the left one, the electrical connector will NOT disconnect from the bulb. The owners manual says:

Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by depressing the retainer clip and pulling rearward.

I do exactly this, and ive pulled with all my strength. Does anyone have any suggestions? May have to consider pulling out the lube!

 

I've had a similar issue, try using a small screwdriver in order to make the clip pop all the way. Or push the connector together and try again, sometimes it gets caught.

 

Thanks, Redfire, Ill give it a try.

 

I just changed mine too. I found it easier to remove the bulb out of the housing and hold the bulb in one hand (not by the glass obviously) and the connector in the other. Push the thing down, push the connector and the bulb together and then pull them apart.

 

They can be stubborn. Assuming you've properly unsecured the clip, it may take some wiggling while you pull.

 

The screwdriver tip worked. Just got a small screwdriver to push the tab, pulled out after a few yanks. Thanks.
