Angry Bulb Stuck in Head Lamp

No matter how hard i turn, there is no use getting out this burned out bulb out of my headlamp. Its the passenger side. The driver side took me less than 5 minutes. Any hints on what i should do? I cannot even get the clip off the bulb.

Yes, you try rotating it without pulling the bulb rather than rotating while pulling the bulb at the sametime. It's your high beam, isnt it?

IlUv It WeNu CaLl Me BiG pApA
what i would do is use this

DIY HID/Bulb replacement DIY

and have a better look at what might be causing the bulb to be stuck. If you are just changing the bulb from the front it might be hard to tell what its getting stuck on. You might need to look at it from behind the wheel well. I mean if its completely stuck might as well have a second look from the back...

Low Beam. I'm trying to get away from having to remove parts to replace the bulb but i may need to in order to get it out. My hand somehow fit into that small gap next to the battery so i've been trying to crank that thing out until my hand hurts. Then i call it quits.

for me, its easier to get the bulb out through the wheel well rather than under the hood

If you have to, take the headlight housing out. It's not that hard to do. I did both of mine for my retro in about half an hour, if you don't include the time it took me to run to the store to get an extension for my socket.
