Sylvannia Light Install

OK OK I'm still learning give me a break. On my 95 GLE I was gonna put on the Sylvannia Silverstar 9004 lamps. I can't seem to get my stock bulb out of their place. I've had these Silverstars for like 3 weeks! I wanna out them on but I can't get the stock ones off. I'm afraid to pull to hard cuz I might break the bulb. I don't wanna screw up my car. Oh yeah my parents have no idea I'm modding the car. Please help!!!!! HELP A NEWBIE!

What do you mean by you can't get the stock ones off? Out of the headlight, can't get them out of the car, or can't get them out of the harness... If you have never open the owner's manual, sit down and read it sometime....it's full of useful knowledge...seriously, it makes some good reading... To get the headlight out of the headlight there is a lock ring that you first have to twist off then pull off the wiring harness and then pull the bulb out...shouldn't be that hard nor should there be a lot of force used to take off anything...hope that helps...

yes yes, the tab.

Umm, isn't there a ring to hold it to the headlamp housing ... or am I confusing it with my Escort? Too lazy to check.
