Changing Headlight Bulb in 2006 Focus ZXW

Hi All,

I own a 2006 2.0 Focus ZXW SES. I have a passenger side headlight out.

I purchased a new bulb according to the specs. It is hovering around -28 C right now so I'm trying to do this in the garage so I don't freeze. I went out today and took off the little circle plastic rubber off the back of the bulb. But now I'm at a standstill!

What do I do now? Is there a metal pin that I have to push? I'm lost.

Help?

Thanks.

I checked the manual.
The instructions I have are:
Remove the Rubber casing off the back
Twist bulb counterclockwise
pull backwards.

When I try twisting counterclockwise it doesn't move. :(
I can "strong arm" it straight back out but that pulls off the wire housing. There is a clip on the top also. :(

Starting to get stumped here.
Thank you for all your help in advance.
