Changing headlights on a 2002 Ford Focus?

One of the headlights on my car is out. We bought a new bulb today, but the auto parts store wanted something like $65 to put it in. It looks like it should be simple to put in but I am having problems. We were able to take the cover off, and remove the wires, but we cannot get the bulb out. There seems to be a wire clip holding it in; but I cannot figure out how to remove the clip to take the bulb out to replace it. How would I do it?

be careful you dont break any plastic



The retainer wire is held in place on the bottom by a screw and clip on the bottom and is locked into a plastic clip on top. To remove the wire, push the wire down and towards the passenger side of the car, it will dislodge and you can then lower it to remove the bulb. Once the bulb has been changed, you want to replace the wire the same way to protect the plastic clip
