Btw if you’re having trouble getting the clip off. Don’t pull straight down on it. Once you unlock it, strart wiggling it left and right and twisting a bit. I tried to push it out of place and it wouldn’t budge. Twisting helped me immensely, also you don’t need to take the whole batter off to do this

Time to replace the brights. I don't recall any of the four bulbs coming out easy, but maybe it was just the passenger side that was difficult (?). (I had the dealer replace the passenger side low beam, which would not budge; I managed after a few hours to get the high beam swapped out (wouldn't budge either, had to loosen the screws etc, but at least I didn't have to crawl under the car for it)). Tried twisting the passenger side high beam holder yesterday and again it's frozen solid… I'll be starting with the driver/battery side… Edit: Actually got this done today. Both high beams had indeed burnt out. Had to loosen one/three of the screws to twist the light and socket out from the car on the passenger/driver side respectively. And prying the passenger side bulb assembly out wasn't as bad as it was for the driver side, perhaps because I'd done it before, so used a screwdriver to hold the latch down enough to get the bulb loose then pushed on each side of the socket with the screwdriver back and forth to get it loose (holding the bulb assembly tight with some vice grips). The driver side needed a little help, wd40 seemed to take care of that, but otherwise a similar endeavor (besides the battery and that pipe cover part). So not as bad on the passenger side as the first time, and I can't seem to recall whether I've actually done the driver side high beam (or low beam) before. Also tightened those screws back up by the way, once the bulbs were back in place.

I just replaced my bulbs with hid lights. I did it different than the way in the video. I went threw the wheel well. Turned the wheel all the way over. Than pop out the plastic well cover you will see the lights. Put your hand in and take out the bulb it will take you about 10 minutes each side. The way its done in this video you will definitely be able to see better and it's more comfortable. But if you wanna save time try going threw the wheel well

I had no problem replacing my passenger-side bulb but the driver's side bulb was stuck and I could not budge it. If you turn the front wheel to the left and remove a few of the front wheel well cover screws along the front, you are able to reach your hand inside and access the driver's side bulb. I now wished I'd done that instead of disconnecting the battery and looking for the radio code.
