RH headlight removal

I had one of those ba$tard stock 9004 (not cheapo aftermarket) bulbs explode on me and now I have all that crap in the headlight. I'm getting ready to take the headlight out and try to get it cleaned out. Now from what I can see, it doesn't look too hard to take out, but I have a feeling it may be more of a beast than I am expecting. Who's had their crappy 9004's explode on them?

My driver's side lamp exploded when I bought it. Surprisingly though, with all that haze in the lens, it is still brighter than my passenger side lamp.

Anyways, I've tried on several occassions to pull the lamp out for cleaning to no avail. Give or take, I'll try it a dozen or so more times before I can actually get it out..

Craps..

haha same here...except I haven't tried to take it out yet. I'm tired of seeing that haze in my headlight so I'm going to get that taken care of...soon.
