i assume you are talking about a 2k/2k1. if its the metal clip, then put your thumb on one side and middle finger around the other. push them towards one another and pull back slightly. then just unplug the connector and replace the bulb remembering not to touch the glass.

It's a lot easier with the headlight assembly out of the car and if you use needle nose plyers to pinch the metal piece that holds the bulb in.
