Not that easy bro, took me a while before i was able to remove the bulb.
1. Unplug the bulb connector.
2. Remove the rubber cover.
3. This 3rd step a little difficult for 1st timer. There is a metal clip that holds the bulb in place. I don't quite remember how i manage to release the clip. Once u able to release the clip, the bulb will slide out easy.

I bought the bulb from bro queen also and tried installing them myself.
Like i say, the 3rd step very crucial cos the clip is holding the bulb in place. Theres no twisting or turning. If not wrong u need to pull the clip outwards to release it.

yes, the difficult part is the metal wire hook which hold the bulb, u need to figure out slow, by pressing the hook in toward the bulb, push downwards or upwards and release the hook... enjoy

with gloves can, but not necessary, better dun touch the surface to pro-long the life spend of bulbs
