2008 X6 E71 Xenon light bulb removal help

Hi all, i tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything that assists me. I'm trying to replace the front xenon bulb without removing the headlight. The below makes it sound simple but I just can't clearly make out bulb holder nor will it rotate easily. Does anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks in advance for any help.

Check this YouTube DIY (/watch?v=bPeVE4mf-oA). Same process for X6.

hi jinuwin, thanks for the reply. i saw that video and unfortunately the x6 doesn't appear to have the paperclips, not from i can see? I took a pic.

From what i have read there is a black plastic bulb holder which snaps around the bulb. i thought i have to rotate it out but id like confirmation of this as im not having any luck.

Yeah you have to rotate it. It will be a pain the first time, but gets easier. I like to unplug the wiring before turning it as well. Once the bulb is out, the little black clips pop off and go onto your new bulb.
