You'll need to remove the wheel wells, tires first obviously. I kid.

I hate to tell you this as I don't want you to break the plastic, but in mine, I had to use a plastic trim removal tool. Take the blunt end of the tool and slide between the headliner and the plastic that is holding your bulb for ransom. Push the plastic to one side or another, you should see the metal clip holding it in place. This should give you good idea of what direction or where to apply pressure to liberate your bulb.

yea i saw that metal clip, but it looks like it is stuck or something, i tried pulling as hard as possible without breaking something... so is it possible to somehow push that metal clip out of the headliner way?
