Default Need help with headlight change

I just got new sylvania h13 bulbs for my 2006 durango. I got the bulb out from the access panel. But I cant get the bulb off from the wiring harness. I pushed the red button but it didn't move. Any suggestions?

The red button is actually a "clip". Use your thumbnail and pull it out, not push in.. Hope this helps..

You may need to take a needle nose or flat-blade screwdriver to pry up the clip. Be gentle with it, pry on the clip and pull on the base of the bulb at the same time. Its a bit hard, but it eventually does come out. Don't "go to town" on the clip to much, I've had those plastic buggers break before on my Ram.

It was a pain when I put in the silverstar ultra's I had little room to work where the Durango was parked. I just ended up pulling the headlight itself and putting them in.

Default Removing housing

I have removed the access panel on 2005 Durango an turned wheel both ways. But I do not see the nut referred to in manual. Front 2 bolts are no problem. What am I looking for, type of nut? Is it high or low, nearer fender or grille, etc. appreciate any help.
