Headlight replacement question - 95 Prelude

This is, no doubt, a very simple thing, but rather than take a chance on
breaking something, I'm gonna ask somebody. In my defense, I only recently
bought the car & it's my first Honda.

All I want to do is change the headlight in a '95 Prelude. I've unplugged
the wire &, clearly from the design, either the light itself twists to come
out or the plastic retaining ring twists to release it. I tried both with
moderate force; but (obviously) without success. Here's my question. Which
part twists? Is there a release mechanism I need to press?

TIA,
J

 

What kind of bulb? 9004? H3? Other?

 

The bulb I want to remove is the OEM part. According to the handy-dandy
computerized bulb selector at the auto parts store, the replacement bulb is
a 9006 (low beams).

Did your new bulb not come with a little pamphlet showing how to remove the
bulb?

From my searches, it looks like the 9006 bulb turns counter-clockwise a bit
(push in as you turn).

Yes, it did not.

Ah, the old "push in" trick. The counterclockwise part was apparent
because of a tab stop preventing clockwise rotation; but I just
couldn't move the thing with prudent brute force.

Nice website BTW. Thanks.
