    Like others have mentioned earlier you do not need to remove the screw to the clip. Push in towards the assembly and while pressure is applied lightly move the clip outwards and it unclips. As for driver's side in your video it is missing the negative plate that you had on passenger side I'm assuming that weird piece of metal was installed to keep the pressure on the bulb because an owner before lost or broke it. But awesome video gives others info on reinstalling the tension clip if needed.

    I did it, its much simpler than this. The complicated bulb clip is just a clip, just push it and itll be loose. Removing the coolant overflow is a good idea. Also remove the metal bracket that holds the coolant reservoir to gain a bit more space. Then the other side, removing the battery is just useless. You dont have to do that at all.

    Is the Sylvania xtravision like he used one of the best as Low Beam? I just got H1 vORock8 LEDs installed and now my high beams won't work or won't stay on I have to keep my finger on it to turn it on but can't release my finger or the high beams turn off. I noticed with the LED sometimes stuff in front of me say within 10-13 feet is not lit up well as was my previous halogen bulbs but even then I got the LED cuz wanted stuff near (within 10 feet) & far to be brighter. Basically I'm searching for replacement low beam light that should work better, be brighter and not mess up my other light settings

      Yeah a short or bad/dirty connection or wire. Pop it back out and back in again and if it works again, then there is a short or connection issue somewhere. Also check it and make sure it isn't blown when you pull it back out.
