How do you install headlight bulbs?

I just got some HID H4 bulbs, and want to install them, but not quite sure how to do it. I looked and there is a little plug right behind the light, so I unplugged that and then there is this big rubber piece. How do you get that rubber piece off? I tried pulling and twisting it, and its not much room since its right by the battery and on the other side the fluid stuff is in the way. How do you install these bulbs?

Thanks

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
The instructions are in your owners manual. You know that book in the glove compartment? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

VNlilMAN will become famous soon enoughVNlilMAN will become famous soon enough
just pull that plug off, take off the rubber thing, unclip the metal thing take out the bulb, replace it(dont touch the bulb with fingers, use a towel or something), put everything back together.... the driver side one, just pull the water thing up n it should come off n give you more room to work with

read your owners man, but heres a crash course

1. Pull black plug off of the back of the bulb
2. pull rubber gasket off...its a friction fit, grab the rubber tabs facing back of the car and pull
Now you should see the back of the bulb, there is a wire braket holding it in...
3. Put your finger right above the bulb push wire braket in and slide to your left, braket should flip down
4. Pull out the bulb
5. Put in new Bulb DONT TOUCH THE BULB make shure it dosnt touch anything going back in
6. Flip up braket slide to right
7. Push on gasket, make shure 3 bulb prongs are through the center hole
8. Push on plug

Behind the right bulb there is a white canister with rubber hoses in your way, you can pull this strait up to move it out of your way for easier access.
